ПО SOrEN» monter IT IS now four months since trade union nego- tlators opened the door for the introduction of Measured - Day Work into the two Rootes Motors plants at Coven- try. As 'The Newsletter'-now incorporated into the Work- ers' Press—-pointed out at at the beginning of June, the company's 'Agreement on Pay, Productivity and Associated Conditions' is quite explicit about its inten- tions. What it wanted, Rootes made clear, was to : Replace piece-work with fixed hourly rates. Time study all job operations and tie em- loyees to constant work standards Achieve the maximum flexibility and mobility of labour, and Reduce the existing levels of unproductive time. No one should imagine that everything has been cut and dried by the implementation of the deal's first stages.

Many workers are growing more and more uneasy about what comes next. In Coventry recently I was warned by a senior steward from the Stoke engine and transmission plant that 'a lot of people are fairly satisfied with the way things are work- ing out at the moment — Rootes hasn't really started to tighten the screws yet'. But speaking to a cross- section of workers from both Stoke and the Ryton assembly plant I found opinion sharply divided. Many Rootes workers are increasingly wo redundancies. THE LABOUR lead- ers' headlong retreat before the Tories is well illustrated in the fate of the Redistri- bution of Seats Bill in parliament. The government had originally intended to change the boundaries of constituencies in London and some larger towns be- fore the next general elec- tion. They were not intending to implement the full re- of commendations the Boundary Commission, be- cause these would probably The second of a series of articles on the Motor Industry By our industrial correspondent

DAVID MAUDE

The deal is certainly not un- critically accepted. 'We're working harder and we're working from the start- ing bell right up to finishing time,' I was told by an internal transport driver from the Ryton plant. 'What will the track-speed be for instance? I've heard that Rootes wants 51 cars an hour--almost as bad as Ford's.

lot of men thought they'd be getting more money when the deal went through.

But we've been on short-time for a long while now-we've speeded up our work and we're getting f2-f3 less for it!'

A group of setters from the Stoke plant held the opposite view. 'When we were on piece- 'we work,' they said were always having disputes with the ratefixers over the money on different jobs. There was always trouble when people had to be switched about.

'The new system's a good idea because everyone gets the as each other, same money there's no variation. 'For skilled men like us the money aspect's about the same as it was, but some people are getting quite a bit more than they were before--semi-skilled workers, for instance. 'The booking-in system has changed, too. Office staff has been cut down. 'They are certainly getting more work out of us. Accord- ing to the agreement, we have to be more flexible and work has to stop and . start to the bell. 'Although there's some auto- aren't mation at Ryton we affected at the moment. It's doubtful if we ever will be?

When I put this to a group of Stoke machine operators, they vehemently disagreed 'These people say they're satisfied, but will they still say this when Rootes starts to cut back on labour?' they asked.

'We're jogging along to some increasingly worried about speed-up and hand a further 15 seats to the Tories, who already en- joy a built-in advantage in the way constituencies are aranged. The proposals would thus have gone some way towards remedying the Tory advantage by breaking up large working- class constituencies in some city centres into smaller units.

The Tories immediately be- gan to bleat about gerry- mandering' and accusing the Labour leaders of all kinds of unparliamentary behaviour.

Then, when the govern- ment's proposals came before the House of Lords, the peers threw them out. So several courses of action

Like all Chryslers' European subsidiaries, its share of the home market is being whittled away at a rapid rate — going down from 11.9 per cent to 9.5 per cent in May of this year.

Chrysler's share in the Euro- pean market as a whole, at 6.5 per cent, is only half of that of British-Leyland. The American firm is now piling considerable pressure on executives at Coventry and Linwood to show some re- turns on the £100 million it has spent modernizing Rootes.

In order to break back de- cisively into the running and increase its market share, Rootes is already preparing to slash its production costs down the middle. It is said that the new 'B' model car, scheduled to come into pro- 'What is the track-speed going to be?' a Prices of some Rootes cars cut the result of new pay and pros introduced first at Linwood and 'Financial Tin duction at the beginning of has been pared next year, down to the minimum as far as components are concerned.

is where Measured- This Day Work comes in. Workers are already having their time packed as tightly as possible. Under the agree- ment's terms, late starting and early finishing are cut down to three minutes at each end of shift and provision is the made for the changeover to three-shift or twilight-shift working in certain depart- ments after 'joint considera- tion'. A three-shift system is most likely to be introduced of course, in the new 'B' shop. Ford' Workers claim that no wo- men or older men are being • but i taken on for work in this shop. They fear the company will demand intolerable vious an pace of working from those who are to be employed there.

Measured-Day Work is an integral Chrysler- part Rootes strategy. As 'The Fin- ancial Times' reported after Rootes cut the prices of some of its cars on July 10: "These cuts are partly the result of new pay and pro- ductivity contracts introduced first at Linwood, which makes the Imp, and recently at Ry- ton, the home of the Arrow range.? By introducing Measured- Day Work, Rootes hoped to establish the untrammelled exploitation of its workers for most of the year. Pay disputes would be limited to the time of the annual pay review.

Hootes must be made in con- clusion. Because Measured-Day Work came to Coventry in an atmos- phere of struggle, Rootes was out relatively orced to par high rates as a carrot for ac- ceptance of the deal. It is to be hoped that Rootes workers will read the next article in this series, in which we will be looking at the situation in Vauxhall Mo- tors - where a similar agree- ment has been in operation for several years and rates are 40 per cent lower than those at Coventry! going to be?' asks one Rootes worker.

nancial Times', July 10, 1969.

There are other straws in the wind here. News of Ryton's top 17s. 5d.-an-hour wage grade has been heard like a bugle-call by many lower-paid car workers.

As one Stoke machine shop steward put it: 'There's method in the company's "madness". Having payed relatively high out i money to get the deal through they've now got other workers looking a bit enviously at us?

comment this on should come as timely warn- ing: 'Look at what goes with this. In a couple of years we'll be in the same position as Ford's workers are now. 'We've had a time-study, but no-one's been had up in the office yet about their per- formance - Rootes is ob- • viously just playing a waiting game at the moment.' No trade unionist can tole- rate the conditions Rootes hopes to bring in. But, at the same time, there is little room the pessimism some many stewards are beginning to express. Now is the time to prepare the fight back. transport driver, A Stoke told me: 'A "go go" firm like Chrys- ler doesn't bring in any deal for our benefit—if I'm up for going out of the gate it'll be the big shareholders who de- cide, they won't consider my wife and kids.

It will deal with the fight of Vauxhall workers against speed-up, mobility of labour and the threat of penal clauses' at the company's Luton and Ellesmere Port plants. r. At Ryton, above, he had heard it was

Tuesday, October 21, 1869 An American soldier blinded in Vietnam. 'THE RULING ideas of an epoch are essentially the ideas of the ruling class of that epoch.' (Marx.) Television pur- veys those ideas and at the same time reveals the crisis which lies be- hind them. In the same week that thousands of its workers were on strike, the BBC just managed to keep up its out- put of the half-truths, fic- tions and versions of the facts necessary for the con- tinuation of British capital- ism. Its news coverage of its own dispute was partial and mis- leading in its selections and omissions. The tone of hearty objectivity never wavered for a moment but it did sound very hollow. Viewers should not forget that the same men who threaten workers and send them home for accepting union instructions also decide what shall be broadcast, what filmed, what ignored. We also remember must that Lord Hill, the chairman of the Board of Governors at the BBC, was a Wilson ap- pointment and, in turn, was responsible for the present management structure in the Corporation which accepted the totally inadequate financial provisions made for the future of broadcasting by Wilson's government. The solidarity and deter- mination of television workers, however, is a very important development in the growing crisis. They have shown a little of their strength. It will not be long before they will have to show more.

Much output was lost last week and more will be affected by the present overtime ban, but non-union labour, willing management and some scabs scrambled a semblance of pro- grammes on the air. In future struggles it will be necessary to make such stop- pages complete.

Whilst literally billions of pounds pour away in profits to American, British and other huge companies, whilst teams of industrial spies survey rival concerns for 24 hours a day, whilst adventurers rent houses for £200 a month, the Eskimos are living in squalid shanty sewage flooding towns with their streets and drinking water and without the simplest facilities for the education of their children. Reduced to inventing dances for the tourists the only alter- native is to abandon every- thing of their real traditions and culture and to enter the By Frank Cartw capitalist jungle as wage- labour. And for the influx of labour from America and elsewhere, there is intense exploitation, big wages and only booze and equally exploited women to spend them on. One truck driver who made about 24s. an hour in the main part of the United States, was now earning nearly £200 week. But not for nothing. The working conditions he described, the cold, the danger, the pig-sty accommodation on the job-eight men sleeping in a room 12 feet by eight feet -all bore witness to a rate of surplus value proportionally well above any earnings. The interviews with million- aires and multi-millionaires, all quite unaffected, of course, only enhanced the sickening aspect of international capital's plundering. As the programme billing in the 'Radio Times' said : 'Rich, exciting Alaska brings together the investors and the industrial spies, the topless dancers and the roustabouts, the revivalist preachers and what are coyly called the of the night. ladies "Man Alive" meets them all.' ANOTHER desperate cry last week came from the BBC's Wednesday Play spot.

Over the last 18 months the drama output of the BBC has consistently hit all-time lows.

With none of the biting tal- ent left, with all the people While science provides the means to 'patch forms of napalm. FORCED off the air during the Wednesday strike, '24 Hours' on Thursday ran an American report on the wounded from Vietnam; so far over 400,000 Americans killed and 500,000 maimed.

This report looked at some of the maimed; young men crippled, limbless and para- lyzed. At the same time it was an insight into the bitter effects of one of the contradic- tions of imperialism. These men with parts of their bodies blown off or use- less were shown under the most intensive care of the most sophisticated American medicine. Plastic surgeons struggling k Cartwright responsible for programmes like 'Cathy Come Home', 'The Lump', 'In Two Minds' *Some Women' and 'The Big Flame' gone, the level of dramatic achievement has been very poor. Mostly sedate or pretentious, there has recently hardly been one play revealing any serious- ness of purpose let alone real understanding. The only exceptions have been the occasional appearance of a new David Mercer work.

All this is witness to the crisis amongst the people charged to instruct, inform and entertain us.

We watched a man receive the Bronze and Silver Stars for gallantry and then halt his way on crutches off the platform.

Some of these victims of this imperialist war clearly went willingly. Most seemed con- fused, uncertain and some- times bitter. I like to think I did it for a cause, said one. 'I don't see why we're there ... it's senseless, said another. I don't understand what I made

WORKERS' PRES

Mostly middle-class profes- sionals, they find themselves in deeper and deeper confusion.

Uncertain on the one side about just what their masters want and constantly confused on the other by their inability to judge what audiences want, they very much reflect the difficulties of this of group people in society. Caught in the crossfire of the class war they will have to choose sides sooner or later.

Just now their work shows the indecision and the break- up of the old ways of coping.

'The Mark-Two Wife' was a fable about middle-class man- ners. A deeply unhappy woman in her early forties, certain that her husband is about to leave her for someone younger, precipitates an emotional crisis in a party of stultified climbers and careerists. Their self-deceptions, own lies and accommodations are all threatened by the woman's frank desperation and it is only a reluctant retired general and his wife who deal at all sym- pathetically with her or show any insight. A sexually aggressive East- ern European-who later turns out to be the impotent pet of his very English wife!-deep- ens everyone's anxieties and it is clear that without the general's good lady all would have ended in dissolution and chaos. Just what we should take from all this, apart from often compelling glimpses into the moods and thwarted feelings of the characters, will depend on where we stand in the first place. aimed G.l.s home from Vietnam, it also develops n this sacrifice for' Mostly conscripted into the army, often from farms and small towns, these were the voices and faces of deeply hurt but deluded men. One boy in his early twen- ties with a stump instead of an arm said he just wanted to go back to college and be- come a teacher. Another one-time 6 feet 2 inches tall football player now legless, said he didn't know at whom to point his bitterness.

He then unconsciously drew the connection between the Second World War and the Vietnam war, saying the only difference was that in the for- mer 'they had a little start on us by bombing Pearl Harbour'.

And throughout, the terrible contradiction of the reporter

WITH. THE Associa- tion of Broadcasting Staffs, representing third of BBC workers, recently striking for a basic increase in pay and against non-payment of productivity increases, the BBC's enthusiasm over its own special series of programmes to sell productivity deals falls somewhat flat. In the first of the ten pro- which are being grammes produced in conjunction with the trade unions, all of which are aimed specifically at shop stewards, productivity bar- gaining was examined. It was clear from the start that this series is usual and 'im- partial' approach as used by management consultants in the early days of any productivity deal. 'Nagging' members The programme began with a film of a convenor in a Midlands engineering firm 'nagging' his members for higher production on the shop floor. 'Is he doing the manage- ment's dirty work?', 'Has he been conned?' are the ques- tions asked. It turns out that he hasn't (surprise!)—'He is just speak- ing a new language.' The managing director of the firm in question appears on the screen to explain that at the time when the scheme was introduced three years ago: 'We'd got a climate de- veloped by the government over the preceding 18 months where folk pretty well gener- ally understood that there was no longer to be something for nothing and we wanted to make ourselves competitive in a very real sense with people from abroad, and to do this we'd got o produce more from the people we'd got.' The management then went on to offer the 'olive branch' to the shop stewards who were reluctant to take it. friendly Why this sudden attitude on the part of manage- ment? We were told : 'The management there is hap orksh 11.00 a.m. -2.30 p.m., Schools. 4.11, News Headlines. 4.13, The Tingha and Tucker Club. 4.25, Katie Stewart Cooks. 4.55, Junior Showtime. 5.20, Magpie. 5.50, News. 6.00, Calendar, Weather. 6.30, Castle Haven. 6.55, House Of Numbers. 8.30, The Dustbin- men. 9.00, Hadleigh. 10.00, News At Ten. 10.30, Report. 11.20, A Centenary Tribute To Gandhi. 12.20 a.m., Late Weather.

Then the agreement, with its increased tied to new pay methods of working, was brought in over the next three- year period. During that time the shop stewards had taken to having regular meetings with the management to 'dis- cuss the efficiency of their departments'. Round the table One shot in the film shows management, work-study men shop and stewards sitting round a table together. The convenor leans forward: 'We're a bit concerned about one or two of With this joint committee meeting regularly, things are different, claims the convenor, and he adds: 'The decision is made jointly.

They don't come and say "ten men are going to be made re- dundant because of pay and productivity, here's a list of ten men" , what they say now is "We've got ten men surplus to requirement, what shall we do with them?"? After this film of a produc- tivity scheme in action, the programme continued with a discussion with a management consultant from the firm in the film together with Derek Whittaker, head of the Produc- tion Studies Department of the Amalgamated Union of Engin- and Foundryworkers eering (AEF), a department that was 'set up to advise on produc- tivity bargaining and its asso- ciated techniques'. Cannot tell Is it a con-man stunt ? 'How can you tell - early days,' says Whittaker, adding I would like to sit here with Alan (the convenor) in two years' time and say, "were you right, and how many members have you now got, how many people went down the road as a result of bad forecasting or bad manpower planning by the management?"" However, the management man doesn't need to wait and see. He is quite clear about what is happening:

'We have to be prepared to bring the unions fully into the management role. They have to be able to help organize the shops so that the management can operate them successfully.'

Whittaker listens to this, but 'I'm cautious, only remarks, not suspicious' The programme ends with some advice from Whittaker : 'Get a no-redundancy guar- • . examine long-term atnee . proposals of the management • and above all, get good communications.' The situation shown in this first programme is typical of phase one of the introduction deals, of many productivity where the management is very friendly, where supervision is out of the way while moved the shop stewards bring in and operate the new measures.

It is always possible in this situation to find workers who are satisfied, who have re- ceived increases in pay and somewhat improved condi- tions, without having the full force of work-study and Measured-Day Work, as yet, thrust upon them. Stewards 'dumped' Later on, once the scheme is in, the stewards can be pro- moted or 'dumped' and man- agement can take over once more. Many workers watching this series, reached who have phase two or three of a deal, or who have been told 'accept Measured-Day Work or get out' (car industry), or who face large-scale redundancies and closures (docks), can see from this programme how their stewards were originally 'conned' proning commendations im- With the present strength of the working class at shop-floor level, employers find it im- possible to simply enforce new measures. They must get 'participation' and "class-collaboration' at all levels and must also develop a 'big-sell' technique — hence this programme. The accompanying booklet, drawn up jointly by the BBC and the TUC, makes it quite clear that the main emphasis of the series will be on work.
