• Last week municipal bus employers refused a claim for a shift allowance of £2.62+ a week for drivers and £2.55 for platform staff—the equivalent of a 15 per cent rise on basic rates. Offered instead was an undisclosed improvement on basic rates; this was turned down by the TGWU and further talks are to take place in a week's time. It is understood that similar claims are under consideration by employers of provincial company busmen and LT drivers and conductors.
