EMPLOYEES of the Ford motor
company in Belfast have called for the boycott by
the Irish National Caucus (INC) to continue,
according to the organization's president Father
Sean McManus.
He said: The employees feel that it would be a
great mistake for Irish-Americans to call off the
boycott. They feel that Ford has not done anything
in the past year to merit its cancellation. Also
Ford s discriminatory record in Belfast has not been
the only reason for the boycott. Of equal concern
is the company's consistently abusive opposition to
the MacBride principles."
He said a similar boycott against Coca Cola -- for
advertising at Windsor Park, the ground of Linfield
FC which had been accused of anti-Catholic bias -
had been called off as the club was now fielding
five Catholic players. Another campaign against
Timex, imposed when its owner purchased Belfast
shipyard, was cancelled after a four hour tour of
Harland and Wolff last month.
