Current Campaigns

At Victorian Tippers United (VTU), we are constantly working on campaigns to drive positive change and improvements for owner-drivers in the Victorian construction industry. Our current campaigns focus on key issues that impact the well-being and success of our members. Here's an overview of the campaigns we're currently working on:

1. The Ongoing Fight to Improve Rates and Conditions for Tip Truck Owner-Drivers

Our primary campaign revolves around the continuous effort to improve rates and working conditions for tip truck owner-drivers. We believe that every driver deserves fair pay and a safe working environment, and we're committed to advocating for the rights of our members. Through collective action, negotiation, and raising awareness, we strive to create an industry that values and rewards the hard work of tip truck owner-drivers.

2. Supporting Owner-Drivers in Asphalt, Concrete, and Quarry Products

In addition to our work with tip truck owner-drivers, we are actively engaging with owner-drivers in the asphalt, concrete, and quarry products sectors. Our goal is to help these drivers secure the same level of improvements that tipper drivers have seen over the last two years. By extending our support and expertise to these related industries, we aim to create a more equitable landscape for all owner-drivers in the Victorian construction industry.

3. Ensuring Yearly Increases in Government Rates for Tipper Owner-Drivers

One of our key campaigns involves fighting for consistent yearly increases in government rates for tipper owner-drivers. We believe that it's crucial for rates to keep up with the rising costs of living and doing business. By advocating for regular rate increases, we help to ensure that tip truck owner-drivers continue to receive fair compensation for their services, allowing them to maintain a sustainable and successful business.

Join us in our mission to create a better future for owner-drivers in the Victorian construction industry by supporting our campaigns and staying informed on the latest developments. Together, we can make a real difference and shape an industry that works for everyone.
