The Lucas Plan was a January 1976 document produced by the workers of Lucas Aerospace Corporation, organized as the Combine.[1] The shop stewards at Lucas Aerospace published an Alternative Plan for the future of their company.[2] The plan was in response to the company’s announcement that thousands of jobs were to be cut to enable industrial restructuring in the face of technological change and international competition.[3] Instead of being made redundant the workforce argued for their right to develop socially useful products.[4]
