The latest cutbacks in production in the motor industry came at Cowley further reductions in the formerly best-selling Marina have been announced One of the two Marina production circuits is to come off night-shift, and the other circuit nd remaining shift are to reduce rack speed from 26 per hour to 24.
This means that since the introduction of four-davi three night working after Easter, planned production will have dropped from 4,160 to 2,150.
Management have also announced that short-time working will continue at least until the end of August. They claim that they now have 37,000 Marinas in stock.
These new cutbacks reemphasise the importance of the decision of the shop stewards at the plant to fight for the opening of the books of the company The fight must be stepped up for work-sharing on full pay and the nationalisation of Brifish Leyland with no compensation to the major share-holders.
