Truckers still paying union 'slush fund' Quote: Trucking firms are still pouring money into a secretive Transport Workers Union slush fund almost two years after investigations found the fund lacked transparency and was riddled with audit problems. The union and its then NSW state secretary, Tony Sheldon, were engulfed in controversy when the so-called training fund was first exposed. Union members had been unaware their employers — including Linfox, Dairy Farmers and Toll — had been secretly making payments to the union while it was also negotiating wage agreements. But since then little has changed. In February 2008, Mr Sheldon released a review of the fund by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, which found the fund's managing "council" did not exist and that there was no documentation "that addresses financial management processes". At the time, Mr Sheldon said: "We will correct that omission and move forward with a transparent and robust structure." http://www.theage.com.au/national/tr...1011-gset.html __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

Funny, I don't recall hearing that any Union officials have taken any wage cuts!
