TWENTY-SIX inspectors have applied I to Sunderland Transport Committee for higher pay. They point out that as a result of recent wage awards to platform staffs the commencing salary of inspectors is now lower than that paid to drivers.
The committee has agreed that representatives of the undertakings in the northern area of the Municipal Passenger Transport Association should be invited to discuss the question of inspectors' salaries. The undertakings will be recommended that if negotiations for the claim by the National Association of Local Government Officers for a 20-percent. rise in salaries of all local government officers be protracted for more than three months, the salaries of inspectors should be augmented by an additional £25 a year as a temporary expedient. It will also be suggested that the minimum commencing salary for ticket and motor inspectors should be £345 a year.
