Leyland/BMC merger
18 June 1968
By CLIFFORD WEBB
The unofficial but powerful British Leyland Joint Trade Union Committee-comprised entirely of shop stewards is not persisting with its challenge to Sir Donald Stokes, British Leylands chief executive, to meet it to discuss his redundancy plans or face industrial action.
Instead, the committee meeting yesterday, decided to press Sir Donald and its own national officials to include local union officers and shop stewards in the redundancy and rationalization talks scheduled to take place on July 4.
