Melbourne,Australia -The Melbourne Herald Sun -June 24, 2008: -- The Transport Workers Union has told Victorian truck drivers not to join a one-day stop work on July 27 being promoted in an anonymous text message... A TWU spokesman said he sympathised with truck drivers hit by sky-rocketing fuel prices, but said the union would not vouch for a strike... As diesel hit a record 181c a litre, a text message was sent this week to Victorian truckies, saying: "The Government is bringing the trucking industry to its knees. We need to band together and show them we will not roll over and go broke."...
