| Notes | Talks collapsed at successive mass meetings when the men voted to accept Ford's
pay offer. At only one plant, the Swansea axle-manufacturing centre, did the vote go in
favour of strike action. News: 17 Feb: Ford's main assembly plants at Dagenham, Halewood
and Langley were threatened with closure with 20,000 men laid off unless the Swansea
strikers returned to work within the next forty-eight hours. In spite of its labour force
only being 1,500 Swansea produces every axle used by the company and only two days worth of
stock are held at the other plants. |
