• Legislation making tachograph charts acceptable in lieu of log sheets, and Ministerial encouragement to operators to fit tachographs voluntarily, are two steps which the National Guild of Transport Managers would like to see taken, according to the leader in the July Guild News.
Such action, the Guild feels, would encourage numbers of operators to seek the co-operation of local union officials to make this trial run of something which, eventually, will be compulsory.
A correspondent in the Guild News reports that, both publicly and privately, trade Union officials are now admitting that they may have been rather harsh in their original judgment of "spy in the cab". The main fear remains, he writes, that the instrument might be used to "check up" on employees.
According to the correspondent, union officials feel that if employer and driver both look upon tachographs as a safety device and a means of increasing_ productivity by providing information regarding delays it would be worth while studying the matter seriously.
