THE offer of an extra 5s. a week for 80,000 municipal busmen has neither been accepted nor rejected by the two Unions concerned—the Transport and General Workers' Union and the National Union of General and Municipal Workers. The offer was made last week by the National Joint Council for the Omnibus Industry and is in line with the settlement for London Transport's country bus crews. Union representatives said they would consult their executives, and it was expected that they would demand at least 7s. 4d., which is the increase agreed for drivers of other forms of municipal transport. It was likely, however, that the two Unions would want to delay a decision until they knew what offer had been made to the 100,000 private company crews in the provinces.
