The second of ten programmes for trade unionists selected from the Trade Union Studies series.
A traditional aim of the union movement has been to reduce the working week. How can this aim be achieved in industries where regular overtime working is just as traditional? The issue is reviewed by PETER TAIT of the Mine-workers and JACK BROWN of the Textile Workers. Shop stewards at a Kent papermill tell how they negotiated a major cut on overtime working without loss of earnings.
