ATTEMATTEMPT'S to avoid a repetition of the PTS strike by 1,700 Midland Red bus crews last Saturday were being made this week, writes our Industrial Correspondent.
But it is thought that further "guerilla" trouble may hit the company, as the busmen press for the implementation of the 40-hour. week.
Mr. C. H. Urwin, Midland regional secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, has said he will be inviting Mr. A. Thompson, national secretary of the union's passenger transport group, to go to Birmingham to meet the Midland Red management.
It was Mr. Thompson, he said, who had led the national negotiations which resulted in agreement on the 40-hour week. He was the man "best suited to resolve the dispute which is over the implementation."
The Midland Red crews have been angered over the attitude of the management in the way they wish, to introduce the shorter working week.
