Dozens of truck drivers gathered their vehicles on Sydney’s Anzac Bridge, choked surrounding arterial roads and honked their horns on Saturday afternoon in an apparent protest of the state government’s decision to shut down the construction industry for two weeks as part of a COVID-19 lockdown.It was not immediately clear how the protest was organised, with the Transport Workers Union and CFMMEU distancing themselves from the action when contacted.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced all construction in Greater Sydney would be paused until July 30 as part of an increasingly strict COVID-19 lockdown aimed at stopping the spread of the Delta variant.
niltiac I love all the financially secure SMH readers turning their noses up at ‘those meddling blue collar workers’. Very easy to deride their protests when your white collar job can be done remotely. There are casually employed construction workers who will lose their livelihoods.
niltiac Well done truck drivers
niltiac The trucker cartel. Not surprising to see them behave this way given their level of education. Savages
niltiac They need to be compensated. How about based on their 5 yearly average “after tax income” - per ATO records. 💰
niltiac So the construction workers are the heroes and we must feel sorry for them ? This BS is affecting everyone.. they get two weeks of doing absolutely nothing while everyone else work from home
niltiac
niltiac Wouldn’t it be great to be a government employee
niltiac How many of them will get a fine of some sort in the next two weeks for breach of covid regulations?
niltiac That’s bloody magnificent. Now if someone could explain to DanielAndrewsMP that construction isn’t immune from covid and doesn’t deserve special rules. Then again, Andrews is beholden to the CFMEU so they’ll continue to receive special privileges here
niltiac My Uncle is a truckie in Vic and he’s home with the fam because 4 removalists decided not to help. Bugger off home like the rest of us. Health workers out there doing there best to keep us safe and you lot behaving like a bunch of Yobbos.
niltiac The most unreliable industry protesting having to put the tools down for 2 weeks. No sympathy here.
niltiac Finally!!!Wasted 4 weeks, send everyone home so we can get through this
