'Transaction 2007' - RHA Statement
The Road Haulage Association feels it necessary to make a number of urgent points concerning the Association and the pressure group calling itself “Transaction 2007”.
The RHA is not “in Association with” the pressure group, although this assertion is made on its website. The expressions used such as “RHA/Transaction 2007 members” are highly misleading, implying a relationship which does not exist.
The RHA has never been involved in negotiations with “Transaction 2007” but has, as a matter of courtesy, held discussions with RHA members who are also part of the pressure group.
The RHA will always support members who wish to protest legally where members have expressed that wish through the RHA regional organisation.
Comments within “Transaction 2007” suggesting that legal and peaceful protests would produce no results and that more direct action should be taken are unacceptable.
