TRANSPORT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 44

Remuneration and conditions of employment.

44.(1) The salaries, wages or other remuneration paid by the holder of a
road service licence or an operator's licence to any person employed by him in
connection with the use of motor vehicles to carry passengers or goods for
reward, and the conditions of the employment of that person, shall

(a)be in accordance with any decision for the time being in force of a joint
industrial council or similar body representing a substantial number of the
holders of road service licences or, as the case may be, operators' licences
and of the persons employed by them in connection with the use of
motor vehicles to carry passengers or goods for reward, being a decision
relating to the remuneration and conditions of employment of a person so
employed in the same capacity by the holder of a road service licence or, as
the case may be, an operator's licence;

(b)where there is not in force a decision of the kind referred to in paragraph
(a), not be less favourable to that person than the remuneration which would
be payable, and the conditions which would have to be observed, by a
contractor complying with the requirements of any resolution passed by the
House of Commons for the time being in force and applicable to contracts with
departments of the Government of Northern Ireland.

(2) Any holder of a road service licence or an operator's licence, or any
person employed by the holder of such a licence in connection with the use of
motor vehicles to carry passengers or goods for reward, or any organisation
representative of the holders of such licences or of the persons so employed
by them, may make representations to the Ministry to the effect that the
remuneration paid to, or the conditions of employment of, any person so
employed by any such holder are not in accordance with the requirements of
subsection (1), and if the matter in dispute is not otherwise disposed of
the Ministry of Health and Social Services shall refer it to the Industrial
Court for settlement.

(3) Where a matter relating to subsection (1)(b) is referred to the Industrial
Court under subsection (2) the Court, in arriving at its decision, shall have
regard to any determination which may be brought to its notice relating to the
remuneration or conditions of service of persons employed in a capacity
similar to that of the persons to whom the reference relates and contained in
a decision of a joint industrial council or similar body or in an agreement
between organisations representative of employers and work people.
