Let's see cash!

STRIKES erupted in the BL Cowley Assembly Plant last week when bonus payments fell as production went up.

Each stoppage produced revised figures from the management. When the South Works, which produces the Ital, stopped on Friday afternoon, management again raised the figures and offered payment for the period of the strike in an attempt to cool the situation.

Further stoppages are likely this week by workers who want to see Edwardes' 'praise' for their productivity achievements, carried in the Daily Mirror, translated into hard cash.
