Episode Details

Truck drivers across Australia are staging a national protest against Aldi, accusing the supermarket giant of ignoring safety in its supply chain—where workers have been crushed, trucks patched with tape, and conditions deemed deadly. The Transport Workers Union cites alarming incidents, including fatal accidents and unsafe vehicles, as evidence that Aldi hasn’t committed to a safety charter like rivals Woolworths and Coles. With 23 truck drivers already killed this year, the union demands accountability, pointing to systemic failures by contractors like Gold Tiger—now defunct after being hit with legal action for underpaying workers and operating unsafe fleets. This is a fight for safer roads, fairer pay, and corporate responsibility in Australia’s most dangerous industry.
