== Lucas Plan ==
Towards the end of the 1970s, Mike Cooley was a designer at Lucas Aerospace, and chaired the local branch of the technical trade union TASS. He was one of the militant activists behind the Lucas Plan,〔The Lucas Plan by Hilary Wainwright Schocken Books (1981) ISBN 978-0-8052-8098-2〕 a radical strategy to avoid workforce layoffs by converting production at Lucas from armaments to civilian products.
The vision of the plan was to replace weapons manufacture with the development of socially useful goods, like solar heating equipment, artificial kidneys, and systems for intermodal transportation. The goal was to not simply retain jobs, but to design the work so that the workers would be motivated by the social value of their activities. The proposals of the alternative plan were not accepted by Lucas management, and Cooley was dismissed, allegedly because of excessive time spent upon union business or "concerns of society as a whole".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Right Livelihood Award website )〕
