MORRIS WORKERS END STRIKE
About 2,500 workers on strike at British Leyland"s Morris engines plant, Coventry, since Wednesday, returned to work yesterday. But other Coventry factories were threatened by dispute, including Jaguar's, where workers were expected to begin a strike over a piece-work claim at the end of the day shift.
