TAKING IT TO THE STREETS

After a day and a half of information packed sessions it was time to put theory in to practice. Following on from the success of protests at Coles stores across the country throughout the year your TWU decided that a regional protest was a fantastic way to end the fi rst inaugural Delegates Conference. On the Move readers would be familiar with the Status Quo hit that Coles has been using in their advertising campaign to spruik their low prices but following the lead of the NSW Branch the lyrics were changed to highlight their lack of regard for safety for drivers carting their goods. With renowned 60’s cover band Able Magwitch loaded on to the back of old truck the dulcet tones of your TWU delegates could be heard through the streets of Gatton singing ‘Down Down – Safety is Down’ as they marched on the local Coles store in the middle of town. Laying a wreath at the door of Coles and bringing their carpark to a standstill State Secretary Peter Biagini addressed your TWU delegates, media and shoppers. ‘It’s time Coles took responsibility for the role they play in the supply chain,’ Peter said. ‘ Coles are big enough to make a difference and improve safety on our roads but so far have refused to do so.’ From Knowledge comes Power! Safe to say everyone in Gatton now has a pretty good idea about your TWU’s position on Coles and their disregard for safety. Your TWU will continue to demand Coles commit THE 2012 Delegate Conference also saw unanimous support for a to taking responsibility for increasing safety for our new and comprehensive training program offering opportunities for The following motion was passed at the all members and delegates to increase their skills. drivers and who knows – it might just be your local 2012 Delegate Conference: Coles store next time! ‘We’re really keen to build on the success of the training over the last couple of years,’ State Secretary Peter Biagini said. ‘We certainly believe that from Knowledge comes power.’ That the assembled delegates welcome the ‘We’re targeting the training for delegates because we understand development and launch of a extensive delegate Your say on Conference 2012 that delegates have different levels of skills,’ Training and Induction development and training program by Peter offi cer Matt Morgan said. ‘Some delegates have years of experience Biagini’s team, in particular the advanced delegate while others are new to the role so we want to make sure that we’re development program commencing from early ‘The 2012 Delegates Conference saw some 2013.

SAFETY BEFORE PROFITS! At a meeting convened in 2011 to boost safety at Bangladesh garment factories, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) made a call: paying suppliers more to help them upgrade their manufacturing facilities was too costly. The comments from a Wal-Mart sourcing director appear in minutes of the meeting, which was attended by more than a dozen retailers including Gap Inc. (GPS), Target Corp. and JC Penney Co. Details of the meeting have emerged after a fi re at a Bangladesh factory that made clothes for Wal-Mart and Sears Holdings Corp. killed more than 100 people last month. The blaze has renewed pressure on companies to improve working conditions in Bangladesh, where more than 700 garment workers have died since 2005, according to the International Labor Rights Forum, a Washington-based advocacy group. — www.bloomberg.com, December 6, 2012
