TWU pushes for more action on safe rates

TWU pushes for more action on safe rates

Quote:

The Transport Workers Union (TWU) will use next week's Federal Council meeting to push for greater action on safe rates, including introducing a voluntary code of conduct.

TWU Federal Secretary Tony Sheldon is aiming to gain a commitment from Minister for Industrial Relations Julia Gillard on overhauling heavy vehicle pay rates when she attends the annual event next week.

“We are still striving to get the [Rudd] Government to introduce legislation this year,” Sheldon tells ATN.

The Council, which brings together all branches of the TWU, will also be putting pressure on businesses to take a proactive approach.

Sheldon wants companies to agree to a Safe Rates Code, which will contain provisions requiring safe driving plans, sufficient pay rates and driver educational programs.
