Graveyard theme marks start of new 'safe rates' campaign

The Transport Workers Uion (TWU) has started a new campaign for safe rates, amid accusations companies continue to profit while truck drivers die. The union last week planted 287 crosses on the lawn of Parliament House to represent the number of driver deaths since a report was released last year urging government to overhaul payment systems in the trucking industry.

The report found a link between pay and safety, and the union wants a legislated minimum rate it says will cut the fatality rate of drivers.

TWU National Secretary Tony Sheldon says Canberra is the first of a number of planned stops in other capitals and regional centres in the coming months.
