Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A CLAIM for higher pay and better rlconditions ofwork has been made by the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union for 1,158 men employed in the road freight department of Coras lompair Eireann. The case was heard by the Labour Court in Dublin, last week.

Mr. M. Murphy, for the Union, said that C.1.E. workers could no longer subsidize the undertaking. A general increase of 16s a week was applied for.

Mr. M. J. Hayes, C.I.E. labour relations officer, said that the Union's claims, and those of the National Union of Railwaymen, would cost £397,550 a year. As the road freight department was in competition with other concerns, it should not be asked to pay rates higher than its competitors.
