The Cine Technician (1953-1956)

158 CINE TECHNICIAN October 1956 General Council (Continued) should be at least kept on the payroll until we have received legal advice, pointing out that it is the practice with Technicolor and Kodak that people contracting Dermatitis are found alternative employment. If the Management should refuse to accept this then the Shop should be informed and if they wished to take direct action, they would get the full support of the Executive. The General Council heard that the company had now agreed to keep the technician on the payroll, but that because of alleged danger of him getting Dermatitis again he would not be allowed into any department of Humphries. After a full discussion of the next steps, it was agreed to take up the question of sickness pay. KODAK. At the request of Shop Steward Ken Roberts, Paddy Leech wrote to Kodak asking for a meeting to discuss a Management proposal to cut down the crew on a particular process. The Management replied that the matter was in the hands of the Workers' Representative Committee. A.C.T.T. then suggested to the Chairman of this Committee that a meeting be held with an A.C.T.T. official present. Ken Roberts and the Organiser suggested to the meeting that the W.R.C. submit a series of questions to the Management and that following receipt of an answer, joint action be taken by A.C.T.T. and the W.R.C. These decisions were not endorsed by the full W.R.C. The Association took further steps to meet the Management Guide to British Film Makers THE LONG ARM Year of Production: 1955.
