Summary:
Archival caption: Workers staging a sit-in at their factory are now drawing a rota - for holidays - at Lee Leisurewear, Larkfield Estate, Greenock, Scotland, 3rd March 1981. The women, and their male colleagues, started the sit-in last month after their American bosses said the factory was to close. They are angry about facing the dole queue, while their counterparts in three Irish factories are still in full production. Their action, now in its 4th week, was backed by James Milne, general secretary of the Scottish TUC, pictured touring plant with union delegate Marie McGrath.
