Suttons Tankers Dispute

Swings and roundabouts if other contractors jump on the band wagon and lower their wages or rates that they pay. This will prevent any one new from entering the driving industry or encourage decent drivers to leave due to the fact of the low pay packet, for the most, it is unlawful to lower the wages now as a lot are near to the bone of minimum wage anyway. This will create a real driver shortage and then push the rates up in order to actually hire a driver. So it is not necessarily in the interest for most hauliers to do the same as Sutton’s. I doubt many pay high enough wages to look at Sutton’s as a model to follow.
