STANDARD TRIUMPH NEWS
Production was halted yesterday in Coventry at the Triumph car factory and 9,000 workers laid off because of a strike by clerical staff. The strikers, tally clerks, progress chasers and line controllers, want a threshold agreement. The company hopes to be able to resume production today but much depends on the attitude of the clerical staff.
