What part does Aldi play in safety in transport?
When wealthy retailers like Aldi squeeze transport, drivers are pressured to work longer hours, speed and skip mandatory rest breaks to get the job done.
But Aldi refuses to acknowledge or address the risks to safety they cause in their supply chain.
In fact, Aldi took the TWU to the Federal Court in an attempt to silence truckies speaking out on safety.
Coles and Woolworths have signed charters with the TWU to ensure safety in their transport supply chains. It’s time for Aldi to come to the table.
Last year alone, 60 transport workers were killed on the job.
