Pr HE troubles in the goods-transport 1 industry in South Wales, which might have given rise, according to the Transport and General Workers Union, to a strike, have now been composed and all danger of a breakdown in relationships between employers and workers has been averted.
As reported in The Commercial Motor dated April 17, the Union threatened " action," at members' request, on the allegation that the area conciliations award, confirmed by the National Board, was not being honoured by a considerable body of
employers. This award was for the application of Grade 2 wages in South Wales and Monmouthshire, At a meeting of the South Wales Board on April 23, the matter was again discussed and eventually a settlement was effected. Under this new agreement, Grade 2 wages will be observed in the area as from June 1 n.ext. In the interval, the Board agreed to take steps to ensure that Grade 3 wages, at least, were paid. This step was decided upon as the result of a complaint that some employers were not paying even the Grade 3 scale. On the other hand, many of the leading concerns have been observing Grade 2 since last October. Firm action is to be taken against employers who break the agreement.
A matter which has long perplexed the Board, the alleged non-observance of the award by operators from the agricultural districts, was also discussed. It was decided that measures be taken to ensure that operators in these districts observe the scale.
