Australia: 2 week Truckie’s strike will threaten food supplies.
A planned two-week strike by truck drivers, from July 28 will threaten the nation's food supplies as supermarkets are starved of fresh stock. The stoppage is being organised by The Australian Long Distance Owners' and Drivers' Association and several large trucking companies, protesting against low pay, poor roads, insufficient stopping bays and inflexible driving-time regulations. Transport company owner Peter Schuback said the stoppage would show the public what would happen if the industry were to collapse. On day three of the stoppage shops will run out of food, on day four service stations will run out of petrol, on day five we will run out of drinkable water," he added. Stoppage organisers have called on the nation's 100,000 drivers to join the stoppage. However, the protest does not have backing from the Transport Workers Union. Foodweek online 21.7.08
