Nho manages?
1E DECISIVE anti-strike vote on the tachograph issue is the final blow to e TGWU campaign. Even the militant Midlands voted 3-2 against industrial tion. What would former anti-campaign leader Alan Law have said?
Despite noises off from the United Road Transport Union it will fall into e. Good sense has prevailed.
TGWU is not even certain about seeking payment for its agreement to ep the law. The union says it will leave it to members to negotiate deals.
That may not be as simple as it seems. There could very well be good son for the union's cool attitude to potential bonus schemes.
With astonishing impertinence, Transport House is claiming the right shop stewards to hold the tachograph discs for the statutory period.
is it says is to ensure that management does not use the information lich the disc carries.
The claim is thoughtless and must of course be rejected. How will salaries made up without the disc, how could bonus payments be compiled? These are but two obvious questions. We might also ask what do the ivers have to hide? Are they using their vehicles unlawfully? Are they eeding to make time for leisure or private work? What does TGWU )nt to keep from management?
If the answer is nothing, then there can be no need for shop stewards hold the discs. The attitude of '3WU creates suspicion.
In any event, any manager who agrees this demand surely gives up his claim be a manager at the same time.
