WE are determined within the next month that an application will go from this organization to the Road Haulage Wages Council demanding an increase this year." This was said by Mr. Alex Kitson, general secretary of the Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association at the Association's annual conference last week, and he went on to criticize the "meagre treatment handed out by the wages council."
