Important talks have been taking place between the Prime Minister and Trade Union leaders. They have agreed to work together to find ways of combating inflation and reducing the present level of unemployment in industry. Meanwhile, the Government has failed to prevent a national bus strike, and the bus drivers’ union has announced that no buses will run from Monday. The decision to go ahead with the strike was announced by a union spokesman at the end of a meeting earlier this afternoon during which Government representatives failed to persuade the union and the employers to agree on a new wage plan.
