HAROLD RUSSETTwas full of confidence in the streamlined RHA. More than 300 new members had been recruited already this year, he said. Nonmembers were no longer asking: "What are the
advantages of membership?" The question was now: "What are the disadvantages of not being a member?"
Cueing-in to Norman Tebbit's speech, Harold emphasised the association's efforts to give employment to young people. More than 900 recruits and 688 firms had, he said, been registered under the RHA young driver training scheme. He was, however, rather less enthusiastic about the Road Transport Industry Training Board, in which the union and educational representatives outvoted the employers on financial matters. Those who pay the piper no longer call the tune.
