Right: A group of members from Rathe Labs. AT the Gaumont Theatre, Hammersmith, over a thousand A.C.T. members from the Laboratories heard Executive Committee and Laboratory Committee members report on employers' reply to Lab workers' demands for a new agreement and pay rises. With less than a score of votes opposed, the meeting rejected the arguments advanced by the Lab employers and authorised A.C.T.'s governing body, the General Council, to impose an overtime ban and work-to-rule in F.L.A. laboratories. As we go to press, this decision has been put into force.
