Day of action

Attention all UK haulage contractors, owner-drivers and drivers: TransAction is planning a day of action: not with lorry power but with people power to mass lobby Parliament.

We need as many people as possible to come to Parliament Square in late November/early December to help us make the Government aware of the serious crisis in the UK Road Haulage Industry.

If the Government put even lp per litre on the price of der-v, or if the Road Tax goes up to the amount the ETA and RHA have estimated—.£7,000 for a 2+3 artic (10 tonnes) with the 3+3 artic price still to he decided—can you as a UK or UK/Continental haulier compete with our counterparts on the Continent?

If you are prepared to come with us when we lobby Parliament please fax us on 01233 641421 or 01233 638817; or phone 01233 641421 or 01233 740686. Bring as many people as you like; write to the papers and your local MP telling them what we are doing,

If we leave it until 1 January when the road tax is due to come in or, until the Budget in March, IT WILL BE .s.x) LATE.

Don't just say nothing can be done; remember the poll tax, also the farmers' protest against the abolition of fox hunting. They won, and if we all stand together so shall we We will publish the date in the trade papers—keep an eye out for it.

REMEMBER—THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE.

TransAction.
