Road haulage group distances itself from militant logistics drivers
Date: 07 December 2007
The Road Haulage Association (RHA), an organisation that looks after the interests of freight forwarders, road haulage companies and owner operators, has made a statement regarding the possible fuel protests that are being arranged by the pressure group TransAction 2007.
TransAction is a group of road haulage drivers who are unhappy about the price of fuel and how much it eats into the budgets of freight forwarders and other road haulage companies.
They are threatening to take direct action using their logistics vehicles in the form of staging blockades at refineries, and go-slows on motorways.
However, the RHA has said it is definitely not 'in association' with the group, even though it says it is on the TransAction website.
It says that expressions used by the logistics drivers on the site, such as 'RHA/TransAction 2007 members', are highly misleading, "implying a relationship which does not exist".
Although the RHA is also unhappy about high fuel prices faced by freight forwarders, road haulage companies, and owner operators, it is calling for peaceful and legal protests.
