Cut-price petrol forecast sparks Sydney union debate
In Sydney on Sunday, union officials refused comment on a forecast that cut-price petrol would soon be sold in the Sydney market. ACTU leader Mr Hawke said ACTU-Selo, banned by the Transport Workers Union, would move to the Sydney Market very soon. The ban, in place almost two years, was due to tanker drivers claiming cut-price fuel would drive independent stations out of business. Hawke urged lifting the ban while TWU held firm, though Hawke later said ACTU was in negotiations. Union organiser S Parnell declined to comment, saying only that no problem is insurmountable.
