The Transport Workers’ Union has taken their fight to improve safety standards for our truckies to the top, protesting outside Coles stores around Sydney. This is part of the TWU’s campaign to put the spotlight on the pressures big retailers are placing on the trucking industry and across the entire supply chain. “In the last two weeks the Transport Workers’ Union has handed out flyers, chanted and even danced. Though it might seem like we are just taking the mickey out of Coles, we are doing it to highlight a serious need for better safety standards for our truck drivers,” said TWU State Secretary Wayne Forno.
