Strife at Jaguar
3 March 1989
THE GUARDIAN
Production workers at Jaguar in Coventry have voted in favour of industrial action over their pay claim — but only by 18 votes it was understood last night. Staff voted to reject the company's offer, under which workers would get £16 a week more after the first year and an existing bonus payment of £15 would be taken into basic pay. The company is demanding another ballot because only 40 per cent of the workforce voted in favour of action.
