523:, announced that Timex president, Peter Hall, had resigned. The resignation was initially met with celebration from the striking workers as it was one of their key demands to ending their dispute. Despite this, the AEEU said they were not confident that Hall's resignation would secure the future of the factory or its Dundee workforce. Hall maintained that he made the decision to resign, but there was widespread speculation that he was pushed from his role by senior management and possibly used as a scapegoat for company mismanagement, although Hall refused to comment on this. 449:

In 1966, Timex was the third largest single employer in Dundee, and the single largest employer of women. It peaked at 6,000 total workers in 1974, which made it one of the city's largest employers and gave it a unique place in the culture of Dundee. In 1982, the Camperdown factory manufactured a
