ABOUT 100 drivers and mates returnee to work on Monday, following at unofficial strike, at the Ashburton Row depot of British Road Services, Trafforc Park, Manchester.
The strike started four days earliel when the men stopped work in support of a driver who had lost his appeal against a week's suspension following a road accident. The driver, Harold Clifton, claimed that he saved the life of a child when he swerved and crashed into a building.
Mr. William MacVe. divisional manager of B.R.S., who heard the appeal. expressed the opinion that Clifton was travelling at an excessive speed. The child's life would not have been at stake if Clifton had been driving within the proper limit, he said.
