A4 About 67 workers were taken away and are in vaunting custody, on that day there were no more disturbing events. On the night of Domnerstag the ll.on Friday the l2 september appeared in the vicinity of the factory.The contents are never exactly known, since they were already removed in the days before.Since these addresses did not show up within the factory, there is a legitimate suspicion that the case described was instigated by unclean elements from the outside. On the day of the strike, the chairman of the works committee was not in the company on ll. Septesber, since he had to follow any interwen- tion steps outside the company, according to information. He only stood up on September 1st and was subsequently taken into custody.

Whether they could gain a necessary influence on the workers is difficult to e a d ait wishes and complaints almost throughout to the social ministeriun. In addition, it is clear that there is a need for a more flexible approach to the problem of unemployment, and that it is important that the social partners should be given the opportunity to make their views known in the light of the changes that have taken place in the various Member States and in the Member States.
