BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT THE annual claim by the unions for an increase in wages for road haulage workers has now been lodged. It is unusual in that a specific amount is demanded. It is for an all-round increase of 10s. a week for adults, with proportionate advances for juniors.
In addition, the unions wish overtime to be paid at time-and-a-quarter after the first three hours. instead of six hours. Apart from double time • for work on a statutory holiday, they want a day's holiday pay. The unions are also seeking again to have the holiday period varied, making it from May 1 to September 30.
