A meeting of 300 shop stewards held in Manchester on the week-end of 19th — 20th Jamuery, adopted two resolutions dealing with redundancy and overtime working, these were: . 1. All overtime should be restricted to 30 hours in any four ”

accordingly. 2 If redundancy arises, no overtime should be worked by the
class of labour declared redundant, and wrk—sharing mist
