MOBIL tanker drivers have calmed the oil industry by accepting their eight per cent wage offer, which increases basic pay to £126.50 with effect from May1 last.
Esso, which is trying to introduce a productivity-related wage structure, and which has also mooted the idea of a change from its traditional November settlement date, is still collating the views of its terminal staff, but expects to start negotiations with the Transport and General Workers' Union next month.
National Carriers has concluded an increase of between 6.95 and 7.4 per cent with its National Union of Railwaymen drivers. This takes a topweight driver's pay from £81 to £87, and a category two distribution driver's basic rate rises from E78.20 to E83.70. The rise is backdated to January 1.
