Dunlop Tyre Output Cut
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, June 11
One-third of the productive capacity of Dunlop’s tyre and rubber factories was lost yesterday because of an engineers’ pay-dispute strike which has led to 11,370 workers being laid off. Engineers at Fort Dunlop, Birmingham, Europe’s largest tyre factory, have been on strike for five weeks after rejecting a management offer of a £3 10s a week pay rise. They had asked for £6. The strike has spread to Dunlop factories involved in other rubber-processing products, bringing production to a standstill in some of them.
