EARLY decision is expected on the future of the Warrington .ation of road haulage company Shelliway Transport Ltd.
lanaging director Alec )ade said: "The situation is ig monitored very !fully on a day-to-day basis we will be making a deciby this weekend. A prestatement will be issued Lie course." But no decision no statement made as CM t to press.
he performance of the 13 Ters at Warrington has monitored since the end heir recent industrial diswith the company. They e on strike for five weeks a pay claim 1r McDade said: "The llts of the monitoring operation are not very good. We are not getting the effort we would want from individual drivers and this has led to an unsatisfactory level of turnover.
Decision
"We have not yet decided whether to close the Warrington operation and I don't want to close it. But I still don't hold out much hope for it. The situation is still bleak," he said.
"If we do close the operation the drivers and the three staff there will, of course, be made redundant. The 13 vehicles at Warrington will be transferred to our associated company's depot at Tingley where operations would be centralised."
The two associated companies, Shelliway Transport Ltd. and Macs Transport Ltd., ceased trading on October 6 and all 40 employees at Warrington and Tingley, near Wakefield, were made temporarily redundant after talks between fhanagement and Transport and General Workers Union officials failed to resolve the dispute.
After an emergency meeting chaired by a senior TGWU official an agreement was reached on a guaranteed 40hour week and the companies resumed trading on October 17.
