The national Steering Committee of the Nalgo Action Group, on bohalf of all supportars of the Group, Py cross in teir Tient against the Tories Housing sance Act and Phase 3, a fight which is in the arests of NALGO members and all other trade Ibers at Clay Cross to be detrimental to these mets, and we condemn the support given to bair strike by NALGO's National Executive, who have also endomed the dubious actions of the local full-time officers of the union, against the Housing Finance Act and the Govern mont's incomes policy Idesnite successive Conference resolutions) has led to the present situation where the Clay Cross NALGO members, in something of a political vucuum, felt threatened by the actions of their employers. Had the NALGO leadership made it absolutely clear that, in the event of legai throats to the Clay Cross members, there would be financial and legal support and solidarity action, then this would have aided the fight against the Government's anti-working class policies.
