EADERS of municipal busmen • submitted a new claim to their employers at a meeting of the National Joint Industrial Council for the Road Passenger Transport Industry. A third week's holiday with pay and an extension of the minimum standard guaranteed day Co seven hours—an increase of 20 minutes— were claimed.
Both demands were referred to the Council's wages sub-committee. They follow closely the decision by company platform staff to submit a similar claim, apart from a pension –scheme also demanded, to their employers.
London Transport busmen are also nearly ready to put in a new claim following the collapse of the productivity talks over compensation to be paid to crews of Routemasters and one-man buses. The Central Bus Committee of the Transport and General Workers' Union agreed last week to submit a claim for a " substantial " wage increase and for an 80-hour fortnight.
At present, they Work an 84-hour fortnight. The claim still has to be endorsed by the busmen's negotiating committee and by a delegate conference of all the men. The claim can be expected to go in to London Transport bY the end of this month or early next.
