  • Les actions dans le transport routier dépassent le cadre européen
    De nombreuses actions devraient avoir lieu ce mardi 8 septembre un peu partout en Europe. C'est aux frontières avec la France qu'elles devraient être les plus dures, pouvant prendre la forme de barrages (filtrants ou non). Ailleurs, les actions devraient se limiter à la distribution de tracts et à l'information des chauffeurs. Le mouvement émane de l'International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), et il ne limite pas à la seule Union européenne. Des actions étaient également annoncées en Ukraine et en Bulgarie, mais également en Afrique, en Inde et en Amérique du Sud. Le cœur des revendications est la limitation du nombre d'heures prestées à 48 par semaine et l'assimilation des temps d'attente (c'est-à-dire du "temps de mise à disposition") comme des temps de travail.
  • Ford renforce ses liens avec Ewals Cargo Care

Si Ford Genk est formel en ce qui concerne la signature du contrat, chez Ewals Cargo Care, personne ne semble disposé à confirmer cette donnée: "les discussions sont encore en cours; le contrat n'a pas encore été signé", déclare-t-on au QG de Tegelen.

  • MUA battles Toll, TWU
    The Maritime Union of Australia is to seek the help of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in an effort to stop the use of members of another trade union on the Newcastle waterfront.
    This follows an apparent decision by the Toll Transport Group to employ members of the Transport Workers Union at its bulk handling facility in the port.
    The transport company has apparently decided to end the practice of employing members of the MUA to move cargo a short distance from the waterfront to its truck depot.
    While there was no immediate comment from the company yesterday, it was understood that it had already reassigned some of its employees to carry out the work of the stevedores.
  • Redeployed Cunard fleet to get another Queen
    "When the movie Titanic was announced it had us planning for damage control", Cunard president and chief executive Larry Pimentel said while in Sydney last week.
    "But I have to say it's turned out very well. Now there's massive interest in the bygone era which has us planning a future based on the presentation of the past."
    In March, New York-listed Carnival Corporation led a consortium to purchase Cunard for $US500 million ($A854.7 million) from Kvaerner ASA, an Anglo-Norwegian shipbuilding and construction firm which acquired the loss-making Cunard in 1996 as part of Trafalgar House.
    Having merged Cunard with Seabourn Cruise Line, the company is now in the process of redeploying ships between the two operations, traditional ocean liners (Cunard) and modern hotel-style cruise ships (Seabourn).
  • Vaile hits back on fuel prices
    Transport Minister Mark Vaile yesterday hit back at industry suggestions that petrol prices for motorists in regional and rural Australia would rise under the coalition's planned tax package.
    He argued that the abolition of the maximum Wholesale Price Mechanism and freight differential should see prices reduced in rural areas. The price gap between city and country petrol prices would also progressively be closed to ensure fairness in country and city petrol pricing.
    "Speculation that the price gap would widen with the GST is baseless and is only designed to generate fear," Mr Vaile said. "Across the board we are lowering costs -- such as fuel haulage -- to bring prices down. We have maintained and extended the diesel excise exemption.
  • Vic pioneers driving hours regime
    Victoria this week became the first state to introduce new national truck driving hours laws.
    National Road Transport Commission chairman Stuart Hicks said Victoria's adoption of the new laws was a breakthrough in combating the deadly effects of driver fatigue in the road transport industry.
    NSW, ACT and Queensland are expected to implement the reforms on 1 November, with South Australia and Tasmania to follow suit by the end of 1998.
    Subject to implementation nationally, Mr Hicks said the reforms would make driving hours laws more uniform, promote fatigue management, and introduce tough measures for companies that force drivers to spend endless hours at the wheel.
