With this end in view, the members of the various associations represented at the meeting, as well as operators who are not at present members of any association, agreed to do all in their power to secure the immediate setting up of the Yorkshire committee on the lines indicated at the meeting held at Bradford, in October last.
At the same meeting it was also agreed to recommend the employers' panel of the Yorkshire Area Board not to observe the award on wages and conditions received from the National Joint Conciliation Board.
Farther, it was suggested that the employers' panel should take steps to put into operation the Yorkshire agreement on wages and conditions, which excludes the guaranteed 48-hour week, and a week's holiday with pay, etc. The whole problem of wages and conditions is to be reviewed in June, 1937.
Mr. H. Walker, chairman of the Hull and East Riding branch of A.R.O., was the chairman, and details of the proposed merger were explained by Mr.
R. Barr. About 60 operators were present.
