ACONDITION attached to the offer of 6s. a week higher pay made by the Ulster Transport Authority to 1,500 drivers, mates and freight handlers in the road freight department has resulted in the men's rejection of the rise.

The condition is understood to be related to the U.T.A.'s view that mates are unnecessary on vehicles working between depots, where men are available for loading and unloading. The view of union members, however, is that if the condition is accepted a number of men will be dismissed.

Some 200 men at the Grosvenor Road depot, Belfast, struck work on February 12 because of the condition. but returned on the following Monday pending negotiations.
