MOBIL has finalised an 11 per cent wage deal with its 250 tanker drivers. The deal also affects ancillary workers and involves a commitment to reduce the working week to 371/2 hours by January 1983 on a nil cost basis for the company.
Effective from this month, the settlement will raise a grade 1 driver's basic rate from £105 to £116.55 per week. Drivers already receive a E16 productivity payment which will bring their new weekly wage up to £132.55.
Current earnings, including overtime, are around £150 per week.
This settlement is likely to influence discussions between the Transport and General Workers' Union and the rest of the oil companies who have a November settlement date with their tanker drivers.
