The rally, organised by the Transport Workers Union, will start at 1pm at Wollongong Diggers' Club with protesters marching to the Aldi store in Stewart Street.
The union claims Aldi refuses to meet to discuss putting safety systems in place and won't acknowledge the problems which are documented in photos and videos.
The union have images showing blocked safety doors, fire equipment hemmed in, faulty electrics and poor lighting for truck drivers delivering goods at night.
The union says truck drivers are continuing to come forward with testimony of pressure to cut safety corners and to drive fatigued.
Aldi is pursuing the union in a Federal Court case, which the union believes, if successful could stop other civil society groups from speaking out about environmental, human rights and worker abuses.
TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine said Aldi had a duty to ensure every element of its supply chain was safe "yet this is not happening".
"Aldi instead is trying to shut down truck drivers who are speaking out and putting forward evidence that proves the major problems that exist," he said.
"On Wednesday, drivers and their supporters will be protesting to call on Aldi to listen to the concerns of drivers and take responsibility for road safety.
The union is pushing to ensure accountability among powerful, wealthy companies at the top of the transport supply chain, like Aldi.
One in three workers killed at work is a transport worker, the highest for any profession, according to Safe work Australia data.
South Coast Labour Council's Arthur Rorris said the council was appalled to hear what was happening in the Aldi transport supply chain.
"Truck drivers are being ignored and ridiculed when they raise concerns about safety," he said.
"On Wednesday, we are supporting the drivers who have come forward and are saying we will defend their right to speak out."
The rally coincided with the Uniontown's Conference for Regional Unions at City Diggers, which is an opportunity for union delegates and official from across Australia to join in solidarity and talk about how to bolster unions in regional towns.
