THE sell-out of the November 1 wage review at BL revealed more clearly than ever before the massive gulf which exists between the shop floor and national trade union officials.
Meanwhile the all-out management offensive against the work-force is going on with even greater intensity; the company's drive for speed-up and demanning now directly threatens basic shop floor organisation.

The Leyland Action Committee, which played an important role in the preparation of and during the wages strike, has called a conference to discuss the new situation in BL and the practical steps necessary to defend workers' interests.
As well as reports from factories in BL Cars there will be a first-hand report on the situation in Leyland Vehicles from a delegation of LAC supporters in those plants.
