The strike by members of the National Union of Vehicle Builders at Motor Panels, Ltd., Coventry, which has affected vehicle production at the Coventry factories of Bristol Siddeley and Standard-Triumph, and at Mulliners, Birmingham, since last Thursday, is over.
Management and union representatives reached agreement yesterday under the chairmanship of a Ministry of Labour conciliation officer and normal working is to be resumed to-day. The 22 strikers walked out claiming that their union was not recognized and that some of them had been told to leave it or be dismissed.
