The union for Australian truck drivers is threatening strike action after talks with major logistics company Toll Group broke down on July 14.

The Transport Workers’ Union will file an application with the industrial relations tribunal, the Fair Work Commission, to organise a vote to determine whether 7,000 drivers across the country will strike.
