The King Henry dispute is a long term one which has been smouldering for ever recommended union recognition back in 1977. the management has refused to do Union members get the sack more frequentlv than non-union staff and th general turn-over is high (with more than half the present workers being employed for less than 6 months or so). The manager is presently being prosecuted for employ- them.

The factory has a poor safety record with 2 men and a women having lost 3,3 and 4 fingers in the machines in the last 18 months. The fight to build the union against this type of record was clearly On July 6th, a convenor was elected but he got the sack the following day for so-called 'spilling flour'. 23 workers have been on strike since that lime, douns agreeing so far only to re-employ 4 of Mass pickets have therefore been mounted every Tuesday and Friday morning at 6.30 which usually gain the attendance of about 70 people. Support - both on the picket lines and in cash - is needed. Please contact: S. Willet 361. Hyde Rd.. Manchester MI2 5 ET.
