Through Cheltenham's Minefields

Article Abstract:

The British Trades Union Congress (TUC) voted to support its members working at the government signals center at Cheltenham who refuse to give up their union membership by March 1 as demanded by the British government. Ninety per cent of the Cheltenham employees have relinquished their union membership. 1,000 strike calls by the TUC have received little public support. Tories are questioning the way in which the government determined and presented its policy of banning union membership at Cheltenham. It appears a small number of officials, without labor relations experience were involved. Prime Minister Thatcher appears adamant about her refusal to succumb to union pressure.

The Refuseniks of Cheltenham

Article Abstract:

There will be a judicial review of the British government's ban on union membership at the government signals center at Cheltenham. Out of 5,000 union employees, 150 have refused to relinquish their union membership. Morale is low at Cheltenham and productivity has been negatively affected by the controversy. Some employees are seeking transfers. The required polygraph test is likely to cause equally as much trouble as the union ban.
