Ine statement reprinted below was sig week by 110 TGWU members working Transport Department at British Leyland's JUST A SOLDIER IN THE GREAT ARMY OF LABOUR...
Assembly Plant. O'FISHALL .
TUC "A full meeting of the membership of the Transport Department has passed a unanimous vote of confidence in our shop steward Bro. A. Thornett who has represented our interests for the past 16 years.
The meeting decided that it would not tolerate any interference with Alan Thornett's shop steward's card or his membership of the union.
It was the wish of the department to stage a token strike on Tuesday 28 February in order to demonstrate our resolve on this matter.
We have however now received DAY 2=C La personal request from the senior steward Bro. Bob Fryer not to proceed with the strike under conditions where the management intend to precipitate an unnecessary closure of the plant in order to inflame the situation.
We are prepared to accept this advice at this stage but we emphasise that we cannot stand aside and see victimisation take place.
We intend to sign this statement collectively and to deliver it to the district office by means of an elected delegation".
