Request for expansion[edit]

Which "Timex" is this; the U.S. watchmaker? When was the plant established; what did it produce? How many workers did it employ; how many were sacked? 2fort5r (talk) 18:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Timex strike. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070927185532/http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/08/25/newsstory10183829t0.asp to http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/08/25/newsstory10183829t0.asp

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Planned changes 2022[edit]

Rename article to specify 1993 Dundee Timex Strike. This is important because there was a 1983 strike at the same plant and there are other Timex factories all over the world.
Better background on Timex in the city.
Specific background on the 1983 strike.
Expansion of details on the strike including a better timeline of what happened and the end of the strike.

Go for it, MsJoat; my arse still aches from the Timex strike. SN54129 21:19, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MsJoat I'm in the process of expanding a timeline of events covering the start, progression and conclusion of the dispute. I will also add additional details to the background and legacy sections where appropriate. AKFrydo (talk) 22:42, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
