Drivers Go-Slow For A Fair Go

On Sunday June 19th TWU drivers led a Go Slow convoy through Sydney to protest against the Howard government’s proposed workplace relations changes. Over 600 drivers led the slow-moving convoy across the Anzac and Sydney Harbour bridges and through the heart of Sydney, supported by hundreds of friends and family members.
