• Following an unofficial strike of employees of the haulage firm of Brown and Wright Ltd., operating from Tilney St. Lawrence, near King's Lynn, Norfolk, the company has ented into an agreement with the Transport and General Workers Union which includes a provision for the inspection by the union of the company's trading records. Even the union's district secretary, Mr. A. R. Avison, says this .plovision is "unusual" but he claims that the agreement proves "how good a relationship the union can have with the management."
