It's not goodbye
reports from Despite the secrecy surrounding the talks between American chairman John Ricardo and the Wilson Government, it is clear that Chrysler is demanding at least a £100 million ransom from the Government to stay in Britain. But even if granted this money would not be used to save jobs. As with the £1,000 million being given to British Leyland, it will mean rationalisation, speed-up and mass sackings to make the firm 'viable'.
Chrysler originally took over Rootes in the mid-1960s to buy itself a sales network in Britain. A whole range of forward-looking models were abandoned on the drawing board. This The livelihoods of more than 25,000 Chrysler workers and 70,000 workers scattered throughout 8,000 British component firms are now endangered by the latest threats of the US multinational. With sales dwindling to a tiny 6.8 per cent of the British car market in the first nine months of this year, and a first half loss of £15.9 million following a pre-tax loss of £17.7 million in the previous year, Chrysler is threatening to shut up shop in Britain and cast tens of thousands onto the dole queue.
lies at the basis of Chrysler's problems: out-ofdate models and still older equipment.
In a rapidly shrinking car market, Chrysler just cannot compete. Recently a special survey on the motor industry by the Financial Times (14 October) revealed that 'the consensus of opinion in the British industry is that if 1975 has been a bad year, 1976 will be even worse: the market for new cars is expected to slip from this year's level (now forecast at between 1.1 m and 1.2m cars) to only just over 1m....' ey for Chrysler.
The Labour 'lefts' also accept the viability argument. Instead of fighting Wilson for the nationalisation of the whole motor industry, they end up queuing to see Varley to beg monAll redundancies must be fought. Any attempt to split the Chrysler workers by sacking them a section at a time should be smashed by combine-wide action as soon as the first redundancies are announced. The Linwood stewards' decisions to occupy against redundancies must be taken up in every Chrysler plant.
