Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A CLAIM by the National Associar-‘ tion of Local Government Officers for new scales of salaries for certain employees of the Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., has been dismissed by the Industrial Disputes Tribunal.

The application was made on behalf of supervisory, professional and technical grades, transport inspectors and foremen. One of the claims by the Association was that the staff worked up to and over 50 hours a week without payment for overtime and that, therefore, their salaries compared unfavourably with present-day standards in public service.

The company replied that its present scales as a whole were as favourable as those claimed by the Association, and that the schedules submitted by N.A.L.G.O. bad not, so far as the Trent concern was aware, been adopted by any other road passenger transport undertaking in the country.

The company also argued that the salaried staff were paid as well as similar grades in road passenger transport undertakings owned by the British Transport Commission and by municipal authorities in or near the Trent area of operation.

HOLD-UP ON A48 rROM midnight on September 13-14 .1 until 3 p.m. the following day, the railway bridge at Broadoak, Glos., on the London-Fishguard (A48) road, will be under repair and the road will be closed. An alternative route via A40 at Highnam, Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth, Usk and Newport is suggested.
