Many unions are already working to protect drivers from downward pressure on pay and conditions and the unsafe effects of dangerously competitive business models. For example, your union may have negotiated clauses in collective bargaining agreements. You may be using bargaining strategies that seek to equalise standards across supply chains and industries. By doing so, you are already implementing Safe Rates principles.
