Inside this issue...
 

• A young woman working as a cashier at the Army & Navy Stores in Ranelagh Street was sacked because the owner objected to her black boyfriend. The firm has offered her £50 compensation for unfair dismissal (page 1).

• Women at Croft Seafoods are on strike, demanding 35p an hour and a guaranteed 30-hour week (page 3). The firm received a substantial government grant to establish the factory but is trying to rely on piecework and casual labour (issue 11, page 4).

• After being arrested on suspicion of stealing a car, 29-year-old Alan Sutcliffe appeared in court with a broken nose, a black eye, blood on his right ear, grazes on his forehead and bruises on his neck and shins. Though no longer suspected of stealing the car, he was charged with causing grievous bodily harm to Det Sgt Lawrence Moore by injuring the officer's knuckles. It took a jury only 35 minutes to acquit him (page 6).

• When dockers returned to work after a three-week strike there were promises to safeguard their jobs. Nine months later, though, the threat is growing. Use of shipping containers is taking work away from the docks and unregistered ports, which undercut wages and conditions of registered ports, are having a boom time (page 4).
