COVENTRY, SEPT. 19
More men at the Standard-Triumph International Company’s factories at Coventry are being affected by short-times working.
The firm already has 2,500 production workers on a three-day week, and union officials confirmed tonight that the entire tool room staff of somewhat fewer than 100 men would go on four days starting this week. A union official said: “We have been told that it is due to some reorganization and that it will be only temporary.”
