A SUGGESTION that the ii troduction of the tachograp should be regarded as a opportunity to modernise an to regularise work practices i the road transport industr was made at the annul meeting of Manchester Tram port Training Group, the bigi est of its type in Europe.
Jack Wood, 70-year-old rE tired founder of the group, an a former trade union officia said both drivers an employers feared the tacho graph because it would em perks which went on in th. haulage industry. They hal gone on for years, known am condoned by employers.
"The driver manufacture, overtime. He finishes his job but before returning to his de pot he will call at home, do bit of shopping, sit in Joe's caft and that mounts up as over time.
"Yet there is no need for fiddling if we adopt in g widespread form the old prin. ciple of an owner-driver system."
Mr Wood suggested that drivers should be paid not by the hour but on a salary basis, with flexible hours to make maximum use of vehicles and with labour and work schedules worked out between driver and employer to stop the stupid system that penalised hard work and rewards stretching the hours.
Such a system, he believed, could bring basic rates of £100 a week.
