Exercise 3
| 1. | Ian Hampden suspects that one of the shop stewards is driving workers to confrontation with the management and discusses the situation with the shops manager. |
| 2. | Ted Fielding is so much better at handling labour disputes than Ian that he decides to talk to the shop steward himself. |
| 3. | Jack Green's always trying to make trouble in the works. He 's been busy agitating in connection with the latest wage claim. |
| 4. | Smith explained away his behaviour and said that he cleaned Mr. Wiles' car last night out of works' time. |
| 5. | The private arrangement between Peter Wiles and Smith reads: if Smith works an hour on Peter's car he takes an hour and a half from his day's work. |
| 6. | Smith threatened Ian Hampden that he would have a walk out on his hands if he tried dismissing Smith. |
| 7. | If Smith had complained to Peter Wiles about being underpaid Peter would have paid him a bit more, or taken the car to the garage. |
| 8. | The labour dispute has been engineered by the District Organiser of the National Workers' Union because he wanted to negotiate a wage claim. |
| 9. | Ian thinks there should be some system of profit sharing and is sure that the labour dispute in question is a direct result of ill-feeling in the works. |
| 10. | H.G. has always been enthusiastic about profit sharing and is going to bring it up at the Management Committee Meeting. |
