WHEN Paul Whetton was sacked at Bevercotes last Friday, the NUM branch called a Sunday meeting to discuss action. HUNTER, one of the two suspended NUM members from Welbeck, reports.
•PAUL's sacking was the last straw for Notts miners. Bevercotes NUM meeting had to be made into an open one when miners from other pits and even some UDM members turned up to discuss ac. tion. morning. but te coal boara went into acuon. removing men from the canteen and banning some from NCB premises. The response was a walk-out. Contrary to local press reports, a good majority of Bevercotes miners were out on Monday. By the nicht shitt. action has escalated. Ony seven men went into work. The Notts NUM can no longer tolerate the increasing atjacks from focal manages. ment. The situation could well escalate across the coalfield.
