Last Friday, the management at Jarvis’ site, Stockwell Road (South London), sacked four men. One of these a West Indian, was sacked on the grounds that he went to the lavatory _ not to use it but to sit down and have a smoke. The men object very much to the notion that a foreman has the right to throw open lavatory doors and investigate the activity of the occupants.
After the men had stopped work. for an hour the management indicated that they had the right to hire and fire whom they pleased.
This site is going to hear a speaker from the Socialist Labour League next Friday to consider the question of electing delegates to the London Assembly of Labour. They have succeeded in removing Morton from the position of shop steward.
It is heartening that 125 copies of The Newsletter were sold at the meeting and a number of workers disgusted with the betrayal, inquired about membership of the Socialist Labour League.
