• For the first time in its 45-year history, the .Birmingham based haulage concern Chambers and Cook Ltd found itself strike-bound this week when its drivers "reluctantly" stopped work because of a union clamp down on tachographs. Mr E. Barnfield, the company's co-managing director, said that Mr Alan Law was the TGWU official who had called the strike but Mr Law is reported as saying that: "The men have decided not to work the lorries so long as the clocks stay in."
Mr Barnfield said that for 20 years the firm's drivers had worked with the cab clocks, but he was prepared to take them out if the men agreed to some other form of control.
