The Transport Workers’ Union decries these unfair rate increases, that amount to a quarterly hike on owner drivers and small businesses.
Transport workers rely on access to NSW’s road network to conduct essential business that keeps the state moving. In many cases, such as with NorthConnex, drivers have no option but to use the toll road option.
We have been consistently and relentlessly calling for fairness in this space and for Transurban to provide some relief to the industry. Workers are under increasing pressure, and April’s rate hike will only increase the problem.
The TWU says that enough is enough – Transurban must provide relief for the industry and listen to the voices of small business.
