Municipal trouble spreads
rTHE ban on voluntary overtime and standing passengers by the bus crews of many municipalities continued this week, after last Friday's talks between the employers, the TGWU and Mr. H. Marsh, the Ministry of Labour's chief conciliation officer, had ended in deadlock. A further meeting was scheduled for yesterday (Thursday).
Bus crews in Edinburgh postponed a decision to strike (COMMERCIAL MOTOR, last week) until they heard the results of yesterday's meeting in London, and are holding a mass meeting today to decide further action. Meanwhile, the ban on overtime and standing passengers has remained.
Threats of a similar ban in Glasgow were withdrawn when the Corporation establishments committee agreed to talks. Officials of the TGWU have this week drawn up a document stating the busmen's requests, which was due to be placed before the Corporation. Meanwhile, bus crews in Southend-on-Sea came out on strike on Tuesday after the Corporation hired private buses to operate a service which could not be operated by the transport department because of the overtime ban. Eastern National bus crews on the joint services with the Corporation came out in sympathy. Mr. W. Baxendale, general manager, told CM that a skeleton service was being operated by inspectors, office staff and "anyone who will volunteer".
Accrington Corporation bus crews also came out on strike on Monday for a week, because of the council's refusal to negotiate at local level. However, Aberdeen and Dundee buses are now running normally, pending the outcome of local negotiations.
