Due to poor annual profit management at the local crisp factory in the north of England, it was decided to bring in new practices and methods of work.
Part of the manufacturing process involved the transportation of the crisps around the factory in purpose made metal bins. Ever since anyone could remember the materials for the bins had been supplied by a local sheet metal manufacturer with final construction of the bins carried out by the workers within the crisp factory. The bins were hand crafted with neatly soldered seams; they were a true work of art.
As a cost saving measure, management made the decision to replace the costly hand crafted bins with cheaper ready made plastic bins. Not only would material costs be reduced but also staff levels within the factory could be reduced
This proposal angered both the workers within the factory and the local union. A vote was taken and strike action was unanimously agreed. As part of the action, a local rally was organised with a march taking place from the factory to the rally.
To lift the workers spirits as they marched with their banners they sang
Onward Crisp Bin Solderers. 😕
