It is now seven weeks since the seven sacked TGWU members at Caplans Cash and Carry, Manchester, started their fight for reinstatement and union recognition.
Their determination to win this fight is stronger now than ever. One of the main reasons for this is the tremendous support they have received from other trade unions not only in and around Manchester but even from dockers at Felixstowe.
The strikers reckon that their action has reduced the firm's supplies by 80-90%.
The response of managelent so far has been to make a ridiculous threat of complete closure though they are likely to offer the strikers their jobs back as vacancies arise provided they call off their action.
Needless to say this last suggestion was immediately kicked into touch by the strikers who are sticking to their original demands.
The prospects now are for a long, hard and bitter dispute. If the Caplan strikers are to win, it is vital that the tremendous support they have received so far is maintained.
Please send donations and messages of support to Dave Jones, c/o 37 Plymouth Street, Salford.
