Greens Industrial Relations spokesperson Adam Bandt MP today said the Greens will fight the government’s moves to override a Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal ruling on pay for truck drivers.
“The Greens are concerned that the government’s push will make our roads less safe,” Mr Bandt said.
“The Greens supported establishing the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal because everyone deserves a safe workplace and everyone wants our roads to be safe.”
Greens Transport spokesperson Senator Janet Rice said: “Safe rates for truck drivers are essential to ensuring our roads are safer for everyone.”
