ALARGE number of Class C licence holders is prepared to observe wages and working conditions in connection with their business, which compare favourably with those put forward by the National Joint Conciliation Board in respect of Class A and B licences.
. The rates of pay and conditions form the subject of an agreement made by the Joint Council for the Retail Distributive Trades Section of the road-transport industry. The parties forming this council are the London Employers Association, the Incorporated Association of Retail Distributors, and the Transport and General Workers Union.
The agreement provides only the wage rates for London, but the conditions of employment are to be generally applicable to both London and the provinces, and an early meeting is to be arranged to decide the wage rates to operate in the provincial centres.
In brief, the conditions are as follow : —Employment, a 48-hour week, exclusive of meal times, calculated on six days from Monday to Saturday. Saturday midnight to Sunday midnight to be treated as a separate day.

A man who is instructed to come to work and is not employed must be paid for a minimum of two hours; if called a second time the same day, he must be paid for a further two hours. He must not be employed or paid for less than 8i hours on any given day.
For regular employees, after 48 hours, overtime will be paid at time-and-one eighth for the first eight hours, and time-and-a-quarter thereafter. Any time worked under any Variation Order in excess of the total laid down will not be treated as part of the accumulative week, but will be paid for at time-and-a-quarter. Double wages will be paid for Sunday work, with a minimum of 10s.
For washing-out steam wagons on Sunday, the pay will be 8s. for drivers, 6s. for mates. After three hours, double ordinary rates must be paid.
c50 An extra 6d. per day must be paid to all drivers where trailers are employed, and in each case an assistant must be provided.
