TWU Owner drivers Stand Together and Win
Fifteen Mack Truck drivers from Concrete Company Readymix/Rinker proved today that by being union you can win.
Delegates Ray Child and Ian Barnaville organised 15 owner drivers from Readymix/Rinker Moorebank to blockade Mack Truck, Chipping Norton over their refusal to fix a faulty truck part.
All of the owner drivers have experienced cracking across member bracket, meaning their trucks were unsafe and not road-worthy.
Despite this being an obvious design fault, until today Mack Truck refused to pay for repairs.
Following today’s blockade, Mack management agreed to pay for the parts and part of the labour costs as well as extending the 12 month warranty.
Delegate Ian Barnaville said, “This is a great result because as owner drivers we have enough overhead costs to worry about without being concerned and out of pocket over a design fault. Thanks to Readymix/Rinker and all the guys for standing together.”
