OUR INDUSTRIAL

CORRESPONDENT THE NATIONAL Industrial Relations Court yesterday reserved judgement in an application made by Chrysler worker Mr. Joseph Langston.

Langston is claiming an 'unfair industrial practice' by the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers and its works' representative, Mr Ken Walton, at the Chrysler plant at Ryton in Coventry.

Neither Mr Walton nor the AUEW were represented at yesterday's hearing. A counsel, briefed by the Treasury solicitor, appeared as amicus curae (friend of the court) for Langston.

There was a short private hearing followed by a legal argument between Langston's lawyer and the legal representatives of Chrysler (UK) which is also named as a party in the Langston has been suspended on full pay since he left the AUEW and fellow workers decided to strike if he was not sacked.
