THE UNITED Road Transport Union wants to re-establish collective wage agreements for haulage drivers in North-West England.
It has submitted a claim with the Road Haulage Association for a £97 weekly rate for 40 hours for drivers of vehicles up to five tonnes, a £103 rate for 24 to 32.5-tormers, and a £108 rate for vehicles up to 38 tonnes. There would be no reduction in the working week, but subsistence would be £12.50.
Increases have been sought for loss of hgv licence, sickness and accident benefit.
This wouId re-establish collective wage agreements which were last reached in the region in 1982.
Metropolitan and South-East England Transport and General Workers' Union drivers have lodged a claim for a £7 increase in basic rates, which would take the 32.5-tonne rate to £103.50, and the 38-tonne rate to £109 for 40 hours, and have sought a reduction in the working week to 39 hours.
They want a £1 increase in subsistence to £12 and a review of other payments and benefits.
Claims are also being drawn up for drivers employed by National Freight Consortium companies.
