Jaguar Dispute
About 850 assembly workers at the Coventry factory of Jaguar Cars Ltd. were sent home yesterday after a walk-out by 400 trim shop employees over a piecework pav dispute.
Those sent home were told not to report back until Tuesdav because of the shortage of supplies. The strikers, members of the National Union of Vehicle Builders, said they would report to the factory today, but would not work until their claim was satisfactorily settled.
