Description

In 3 parts. Rupert Murdoch, owner of News International, makes a statement after talks with print unions break down. Brenda Dean of SOGAT 82 thinks the company didn’t really want a settlement, and says the outlook is bleak. Tony Dubbins of the NGA says the company’s attitude was intransigent, and that its rejection of the union’s new, radical proposals had brought confrontation closer.
