WHEN the Road Haulage Wages Council met on Wednesday to hear an application by the unions for an increase in pay for road haulage workers, British Road Services had still not received a similar demand. The unions also asked for higher subsistence allowances, the up-grading of certain towns and a revision of the holiday period. The claim was discussed by the employers' panel. on Tuesday afternoon.
