The Transport Workers Union (TWU) ran a Convoy to Canberra last month and hundreds of truck drivers drove in convoys around Australia’s capital cities, because things are tough in transport.
Driver consultation essential for workplace safety
Work should not hurt, yet in too many workplaces, it still does.
Push for a safer workplace
It remains clear that the transport industry still suffers from a lack of consultation with drivers and operators. If the NSW government is consulting drivers and operators, then it must be ignoring the advice.
Regulation with more teeth
The one fundamental fact that the transport industry brings to every Australian is that without trucks, and without transport workers, Australia stops.
We have the opportunity to rebuild our industry
It’s a time to look forward to change for the transport industry. A change of federal government means we can now hope for a stronger and better focus on the needs of truck drivers and operators.
Transport workers must be allowed a seat at the table
Currently for owner-drivers the costs of doing the job are continuing to outweigh the benefit of doing the job.
Owner-drivers need relief from crippling toll costs
Another column, and another fortnight where there is still deadly silence from the current federal government in regards to the support drivers in the transport industry need.
Union wins fuel costs pay rate increase
The TWU has had a win in the NSW Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) for an increase to the rates paid under the General Carriers Contract Determination in NSW.
It’s a federal government betrayal of our workers
The federal government has proved once again it is not on the side of those who work in transport.
A collective voice is power in action
The ongoing exclusion of voices of drivers from the talks to safeguard supply chains and improve conditions is typical of the disregard held by the current government and sadly some companies, for the transport Industry.
