Strikers Halt A Car Factory
A car plant was brought to a standstill yesterday after a strike by inspectors. The inspectors, who are in charge of the production line, walked out of the British Leyland Motor Corporation factory at Cowley, Oxford, following a dispute over a merit award scheme.
As a result, 2,730 other workers were sent home. They are expected to report back for work today.
