NSW: Armoured car drivers stop work action today
The Transport Workers Union says there could be a cash shortage as a result of industrial
action being considered by the New South Wales armoured car industry.
TWU state secretary TONY SHELDON says stop work meetings will be held at several sites
today, with cash-in-transit workers also planning to take their concerns directly to WorkCover.
He says four armoured crew vehicle work is now being carried out by one person in a
courier van with in some cases, no training whatsoever.
Meanwhile, about 400 people attended a NSW Labor Council's injured workers' forum at
Granville Town Hall yesterday.
The forum included the launch of a video campaign, which starts in workplaces today
and could be broadened to a television campaign.
Council secretary MICHAEL COSTA says the forum turnout highlights the anger in the
community over proposed workers compensation changes.
Negotiations between unions and Industrial Relations Minister JOHN DELLA BOSCA will
resume at 9am AEST today.
TWU members are expected to stage a repeat performance of last week's demonstration
at WorkCover's Sydney offices.
