Why is Supermarket shelf stacker always given as an example to oppose truck driving wages.
Why are no other professions used as an analogy.Is it because both roles are suitable for both, a shelf stacker can drive a truck, a truck driver can stack a shelf.
Yes I know a shelf stacker would have to pay for a licence.
I have to pay for a licence to go fishing for instance.Probably because people think it’s a cushy number and anyone can do it.
It used to be cushy but is now hard work and closely monitored for productivity.
However not experience is required. No training to pay for and most roles have very little responsibility
Maybe at coop. But I have experience of the big two supermarkets and I’d say shelf stackers sill have it easy.
Let’s be honest - putting some stuff out and scanning a barcode is hardly rocket science.
No but it is physically demanding as putting 8 x 6ft pallets of pop and beer (and all other “favours” in between) on shelves in timed targets is definitely not easy work as I know first hand because I was a shelf stacker (for 11yrs) before becoming a “Trucker”.
