PROMISES of "generous" redundancy payments seem likely to soften any resistance to Leyland Vehicles' plans to close its AEC plant at Southall in West London.
A mass meeting last week voted to press for a large pay rise — this would increase redundancy payments as a result — but did not raise the possibility of any resistance to the 2,150 redundancies at the plant.
LV management has promised substantial redundancy payments to the traditionally loyal AEC workforce provided that there is no resistance to plans for a phased rundown by June next year.
Production of the now successful Leyland Marathon top-weight tractive unit is to be moved from Southall to the Scammell plant at Watford.
