Talks have been going on for weeks by the Road Haulage Central Wages Board, but the parties concerned, "The Commercial Motor" understands, have -been unable so far to resolve their differences.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, which claims, to have originated the proposal, says it is aware Of the reported change .of attitude on the part. of the Transport and General Workers' "Union, but feels that it can take no further action until the Minister of Transport. expresses an adverse opinion on the. proposal.
This appears to be the attitude also of the Road Haulage Association and the Traders' Road • Transport Association. While negotiations are in the present delicate state, they do not seem to be disposed to take any action that might embarrass the Minister.
The • Minister, for his part, can do nothing until the talks at present, going on with the Wages -Board either result in some agreement or break down.
