nISTRICT organization officers of the National and Local Government Officers' Association have been asked to reopen negotiations with individual bus companies for an increase of 7s. 6d. a week for all adult clerical staff, and greater amounts for the more highly paid staff and inspectors.
Offers made by the managements after claims had been submitted simultaneously last June by Nalgo, the Transport and General Workers' Union and the National Union of Railwaymen, were rejected.
A pay claim for staff employed in the Scottish group of bus companies has been submitted by the staff side of the negotiating council in Scotland.
In Public Service, the official journal of Nalgo, for November, Mr. D. M. Sinclair, general manager of the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co., Ltd., is accused of having failed to put into practice the precepts on relations in industry which he set out in his paper to the Institute of Transport.
He is stated repeatedly to have refused to co-operate in setting up machinery to resolve differences with 900 members of the company staff who are in Nalgo.
