A quick reminder that the dispute between @TWUNSW members and Cleanaway is still ongoing. Cleanaway refuse to come to the table with a reasonable offer. This graphic is from March - the facts remains that Cleanaway need to clean up their act. #ausunions

Hundreds of truck drivers have joined convoys across the nation demanding urgent safety reform. The action follows a damning Senate inquiry that forced the Federal Government to act - but not quickly enough | @ParisMartin_ #auspol

When Australians vote in the Voice referendum, it won’t be just the world that is watching. Future generations of Australians will look back and judge whether we were big enough to come to terms with both our past and our future. Let’s vote “Yes” for a truly great Australia.

The people who actually get goods moving are facing an industry that gets deadlier every day. Aldi could come to the table today to commit to safer supply chains - but it refuses to.

At the TWU we're proud to be supporting the yes campaign for a Voice to Parliament.
The least Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people deserve is consultation about laws and policies that will direct them. It's a simple change that would make a huge difference.

“I work at FedEx and they’re bringing in drivers with their own vans on piece rates to compete with the gig economy. It’s affecting the whole transport industry.” Tony Matthews, FedEx tied owner driver

“Only recently we saw the collapse of Scott’s Refrigerated - the leader in its sector but the pressures on it from the top of the supply chain still crushed it out of the market.”

“Wealthy clients like Aldi need to pay rates that allow companies like Scott’s to run. There was never an empty trailer at Scott’s - they were running at full capacity and they still went under, and 1500 of us lost our jobs.” John Waltis former Scott’s worker

“We urge Federal Parliament to back legislation that will mean viable contracts in this industry and make sure we can do our jobs safely.”

“Other companies like Woolworths and Coles have made agreements with us on safer supply chains. Aldi has tried and failed twice to silence truckies in courts. This must end and we’ll be back until it does.”
