BUS crews in Central Scotland who have been refusing to work overtime were told last week to resume normal working. The instruction came after a meeting of the Company Bus Negotiating Committee — the union organization representing all Scottish Bus Group employees.
Mr Philip Jenkins, TGWU official responsible for drivers and conductors, said that the committee was concerned about the attitude of its members, especially in Fife, who were operating the ban on overtime. Their action was unofficial.
"They have been instruc
ted to go back to normal working," he said.
The members should be perfectly aware that discussions were going on at national level, but Mr Jenkins conceded that communications between the committee and the members had been less than perfect. At present 15 depotsfrom Ayrshire to Fife are hit by the crews' action. School buses and works and colliery services are the worst affected, although if the instruction to work normally is ignored, traffic, including Glasgow September weekend holiday-makers, will be seriously disrupted.
