The frantic pace of construction of road tunnels in Brisbane continues to impact on those directly involved

As work on the Airport Link tunnel and Northern Busway projects continues day and night,
reports from truckers of very long working hours demanded by sub-contractors hired by the consrtuction group Theiss John Holland, and low contract rates, continue to surface in the media
despite efforts to restrict those involved in the projects from speaking out.

CAST members have continued to hear unconfirmed reports that many truckers have been expected to work shifts that exceed the daily limits set by the Transport regulations.

It seems that unless formal complaints are lodged with Transport inspectors, action is not about to be taken to investigate whether these allegations are malicious or based on fact.
