A N application for a further "sub stantial increase" in pay for the 70,000 employees of municipal bus undertakings is now in the hands of the National Joint Industrial Council for the road passenger transport industry.
A similar application is expected to be made soon on behalf of provincial bus company workers.
Warning of these moves was given in The Commercial Motor on May 11.
An incentive bonus scheme for drivers and conductors, based on the principle of "the more passengers you pick up, the more you earn," has been drawn up by Manchester Transport Department. It is now being considered by the Transport and General Workers' Union.
Over a year, the plan would add an average of between 10s. and 14s. a week to wages. If accepted, it would be in addition to the undertaking's proposal to give an independent increase of 7s. 4d. a week to staff (The Commercial Motor, May 11 and 18).
The bonus scheme would be calculated on the amount of money collected on each bus in an hour. Its aim is to encourage crews to pick up more passengers.
OPEN LICENCE FOR ALLOY BODY EXPORTS
AS from next Monday, commercialvehicle bodies made of aluminium or aluminium alloy will be exported under an open general licence. This licence does not apply to exportsto China, Macao, North Viet Nam or Tibet.
Exporters will have to declare on the Customs form that they are exporting under open general licence and that the value of the bodies exceeds that of the aluminium or alloys contained in them. Until further notice this value will be taken as £240 a ton.
Semi-manufactures, such as aluminium castings and forgings, will continue to require an individual licence for each export.
These provisions have been made under the Export of Goods (Control) (Amendment No. 6) Order, 1956, to prevent the export of scrap declared as semi-manufactures.
