Owner-drivers * Australia - Granted authorisation to collectively negotiate
Sydney,Australia -ATN -25 March 2009: -- Owner-drivers have been granted authorisation to enable them to collectively negotiate the terms and conditions upon which they provide earthmoving services in the commercial and civil construction sectors in South East Queensland... Owner-drivers contract with earthmoving companies to pick up and deliver materials to and from construction sites. Most operate as small businesses and are engaged on a job-by-job basis... The Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy (CFMEU) Queensland will provide support services to facilitate the collective negotiations. It will not conduct negotiations on behalf of the owner-drivers... Authorisation provides protection from court action for conduct or arrangements that might otherwise raise concerns under the competition provisions of the Trade Practices Act. Authorisation is granted where the ACCC is satisfied that the benefit to the public from the conduct outweighs any public detriment...
