Rolls Royce, Hillington WORKERS at Rolls Royce Hillington (Glasgow) threatened to black work on Trident at their plant — and won. Against a background of over 2,000 redundancies at the factory in the last few years, and a threat by management that a further 1,000 were in the pipeline if this action went ahead, the shop stewards committee recommendation for blacking was agreed by a two to one majority at works meetings. And management have backed off.
The Trident contract was to have been a small one, but the carrot offered by management was the promise of more work in the future. The action of the Rolls Royce workers shows it is possible to stop the missiles if you're Greenwhich NALGO GREENWHICH COUNCIL'S community work team held a one-day strike last week to protest the siting of cruise missiles in Britain, supported by their NALGO branch.
