Description (What the record is about)
-
This material arises from a study of trade union activity in the area of corporate decision-making. The researchers worked closely with the Lucas Aerospace Combine Shop Stewards' Committee, focusing on their Corporate Plan campaign. The Lucas Plan was a response to the threat of redundancies and stressed the idea of diversification away from aerospace and related products to a range of products designed to meet social needs and maintain employment. The aims of the research were to explore the strategic, institutional and political problems and implications of the Lucas Plan, with a particular emphasis on relations with management and the established trade union movement. The deposit is mostly comprised of contextual material, including copies of correspondence, reports, minutes of meetings relating to the development of the Plan, and other related material on socially useful production and combine committees.
