The Factory and the City: The Story of the Cowley Automobile Workers in Oxford (Employment & Work Relations in Context)

By Teresa Hayter

This work questions the relationship between corporate planning and local communities which must live with the consequences of corporate decisions. Based on a case study of the partial closure of the Rover Group's plant at Cowley (part of whose work is to be transferred to Honda's new, non-union plant on a greenfield site at Swindon), the authors show how corporations take decisions based on private profitability which override the interests of workers and the community.
