A friend of my son worked there years ago and his account of the wages and conditions was very different from the PR, not to mention a huge amount of their goods are of foreign origin. They pay about 70 cents an hour more than Coles and Woolworths, but I'm not so sure they treat the employees any better. They're staunchly anti-union too. No bad thing, that. If you're in favour of workers being treated like animals, sure. Emoting, over the top BS. This is not Chaplin's Modern Times, turd. The truckles union is threatening strike action, disrupting vaccine distribution, because they don't want to be treated like animals, eh?? No. They are opportunistic and bloody minded. Why? because most unions have been captured by a ridiculous Marxist-Leninist mind-set and operatives. Lol  The unions are against the strike action. Are they, laffin' boy: Thousands of Toll truckies to walk off the job across Australia amid crisis talks Thousands of fed up Australian truck drivers will walk off the job today causing more turmoil for the nation’s Covid-hit delivery network. Who's for strike, if the unions are against it? The Transport Workers’ Union earlier claimed the decision to take action was made after Toll “refused to withdraw its attack on jobs, rights and entitlements at crisis talks” on Tuesday. For these bastards it's fundamentalist ideological class war every day. The union advised the workers against taking strike action. However, seeing as the truck drivers (union members) are the ones who pay the union's wages the union made an application for a protected action ballot on their behalf. It was initiated by the workers, not the union. As I said many times before, you are lying fluently and effortlessly. https://www.twu.com.au/companies/toll/toll-protected-action/ As I've explained to you, the union made an application for a protected action ballot on behalf of their members. The union advised against it, but at the end of the day they're there to do what their members want. The decision to strike was made by the workers, not the union. Not sure why you're struggling to understand this. Strike action is always decided by union members. Idiotically, you are trying to make out that the union and union members are two separate things. Sometimes: a) the union recommends a strike, even when the members may seem reluctant to take such action or are unsure what to do. b) the members want to strike, but the union advises against it. In this situation, it was scenario 'b'. The Union advised its members not to strike, and that they would instead continue to fight the company (sue them) through the courts. The members, however, said they would rather strike. So, the Union acted on their members' behalf and applied for a protected action ballot. And yes, the elected Union officials and the members are two different things.
