Retailers forced to cover truck drivers' diesel costs
Published 2 days, 1 hour ago
Description
The Fair Work Commission has issued a landmark ruling requiring major retailers like Coles and Woolworths to cover diesel costs for truck drivers when fuel prices exceed $2 per litre. Companies must review fuel costs twice monthly to offset the impact of soaring fuel prices amid the Middle East crisis. Economists have raised concerns that the additional costs may contribute to inflation and could potentially be passed on to customers.
