I READ the letter in CM, February 23, "A drop of old fashioned spirit,'" with great interest.
It is a pity there are not more like this haulier who are pre pared to work. We are the same ourselves and being only a three vehicle fleet find many problems over legislation. Surely if all the hauliers could get together they could fight some of the detrimental legislation and the problems such as tachos.
The RHA does not seem to help us in this fight and the TGWU have backed down quickly. The leaders are good at organising strikes, but do their strikers realise that the leaders are getting paid while the ordinary shopfloor man doesn't get paid by the unions?
It seems to me that men hauliers do not have the guts to fight for the right to work. I am a woman haulier and I would certainly fight for my right to work. The drivers that work for and with me are all of the same mind.
I cannot give my name and address, but if any other hauliers have the guts to fight for a genuine right to carry out their trade would you accept correspondence from them on my behalf?
If I made my address and phone number available openly my family could be put at risk by lunatic strikers who do not believe in work.
If possible please print this as it is time the haulier established how important we are to the public and the country's economy.
