AEMBERS of the North Western al livestock functional group of the Road Haulage Association are gravely concerned about rate variations between the Midland and North Western areas of the Fatstock Marketing Corporation.
Rates for the carriage of livestock over similar distances are nearly 20 per cent, higher if the orders are received from the Midland Area. This follows the abolition by the North Western area of a 5s. pick-up fee, with the avowed intention of bringing rates into line with those in the Midlands. A further complication is that rates in the Northern area are said to be higher than those paid by the Midlands.
Mr. S. Peers, chairman of the North Western livestock group, is to raise the question of a common rate for the whole country at national level. Meanwhile, Mr. M. Burg, area marketing director, has been invited to a protest meeting at which North Wales members will express their dissatisfaction with the present situation.
BUS MAINTENANCE MEN BACK AT WORK
THE strike of 26 maintenance engineers at the Old Kilpatrick depot of the Central S.M.T. Co., Ltd., ended on Monday night, when the men unanimously decided to accept the management's proposals for a resumption of work.
Negotiations will start immediately on the engineers' claims for better nightshift rates of pay to bring them into line with unskilled men. The strike, which was in its eighth week, seriously affected bus services along the north side of the Clyde.
HIGHER FARES WANTED
CARE revisions are being sought by I Todmorden Corporation and the British Transport Commission, joint operators in the 'Todmorden area. It is proposed to fix a new mileage scale and, if the Yorkshire Traffic Commissioners agree, some short-distance fares will be lowered, whilst some long-distance fares will go up.
