Their wages are far lower than those received elsewhere. At the same time management, with the direct assistance of the local union officials~ have been able to enforce a regime within the factory which allows the boss · to do exactly as he likes in a way unheard of in decently organized firms. For yèars there was 'industrial peace' and Vauxhall became known to car workers as the 'cabbage patch'. But the worms have turned. Spearheaded by the militant Paint Shop (where workers have not only been able to exercise some control over the speed of the line but also to win substantial increases in wages, an unheard of situation at Vauxhall), the rest of the factory has begun to move. In the last year there have been a number of walk-outs and other 'incidents~~ Negotiations have been under way since the beginning of the year for a substantial wage increase. Even if won in full this would still not bring Vauxhall wages in line with those paid nationally. On July 10, hiding behind the government•s Incomes Policy, the management issued a number of proposals in relation to what it called 'production and efficiency aspects•. These proposals in our view would be unacceptable at any price. On September 13, workers at Luton, Dunstable and Ellesmere Port, fed up with the way things were going, initiated a work-to-rule and overtime ban. They have insisted that negotiations on the company's proposals don't drag on and that the wage_rises be obtained forthwith, without strings.

  • Car Firms' Strategies and Practices in Europe
    1 ♦ Car firms’ strategies and practices in Europe Michel FREYSSENET (CNRS, Paris) Yannick LUNG (Bordeaux 4 University) GERPISA international network The automobile sector is often presented as the archetypal global industry. In this view, car business is one of the main driving forces behind the homogenisation of the world, both because of the firms’ internationalisation strategies (mergers-acquisitions, establishment of facilities in emerging countries, world cars, international division of labour, etc.) and as a result of the social practices enacted by them via their organisation of work and their influence upon lifestyle (automobile civilisation). Regarding the case of Europe, the present article is an attempt to deconstruct a representation that neglects the heterogeneity of firms and spaces, the great diversity of strategies pursued, and the inherent contradictions of the competitive process. For doing that, we will use the analytical approach of firms’ trajectories elaborated by us during the first and second international programs of GERPISA (Boyer, Freyssenet, 2000). Growth modes, profit strategies and productive models Analysing car makers’ trajectories and performances over the course of the 20th century allowed us to renew our understanding of the two essential conditions that are prerequisites for profitability. The first is the relevancy of the “profit strategy” to the “growth mode” that typifies the countries in which the firm is deploying its activities. The second is the “company government compromise” between a firm’s principal protagonists, a meeting of the minds that enables actors to implement means coherent with the profit strategy pursued—in other words, to invent or adopt a “productive model.” Profit strategies are combinations of profit sources in compatible proportions.

The past 12 months have once again given us many opportunities to venture forth in our old vehicles, or enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts without them. Indeed, the company is every bit as important as the cars and motor cycles, but the latter do act as wonderful catalysts to meet and mix with the very finest people. The Committee has again been responsible for organizing marvellous runs and evening meetings. The latter has seen a range of interests covered which have invariably turned out to be both entertaining and informative. During the course of the year, Committee Members Gavin McNeil and David Bishop resigned and have been missed by the remaining Committee. I would like to take this opportunity to say a very heart-felt thank you to two ladies who contribute enormously to the Club. Firstly, our Minutes Secretary for the Committee meetings, Cathy Jackson, who does not make it to our monthly meetings. Secondly, and for the general Members her contribution is far more noticeable, our very own supper lady, Trish Keane.
