Three thousand hourly-paid orkers at British Oxygen 3ked set to accept a 7.7 per nt offer put to them late on onday evening.
This rise, which will go to Ender vehicle drivers and ilk liquid drivers in BOC's ises Division, comprises a .50 increase on their basic Ige and a £2 supplement.
In addition, joint discus sions are planned to seek ways and means of improving upon present levels of efficiency in a "meaningful and constructive" fashion.
A BOC spokesman told CM this week that he was "very hopeful" of the offer being accepted today.
The claim, said to range between 20 and 30 per cent, from Scottish lorry drivers, is being discussed again on October 23.
A Road Haulage Association spokesman told CM: "We are pursuing negotiations but have not yet made an offer to the men."
Transport and General Workers' Union officials were not available for comment.
Maintenance staff employed by Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive have called off their threatened industrial action (CM last week) and are to meet again today.
Although they submitted a claim for a rise of over 40 per cent, they are now discussing an offer from management which falls within the Government guidelines and which includes a selffinancing productivity deal.
