The fella on the news this morning from Arla was pretty clear, these operators are lobbying the govt to re-open to floodgates to the EE’s. They don’t like this new situation where they are having to think about paying drivers decently and not just treating them as easily replaced disposables.Aren’t Arla another outfit who once had a decent in house transport set up, but farmed it all out to a third party (Morans?) to the detriment of drivers pay & conditions? Now milks being poured away because they can’t get drivers…. my heart bleeds.
Are the EEs really going to flood back when they can make more in most every other country in europe? No IR35 any more.
Might have to go for the indians and filipinos. If they would prefer to hire a filipino for a couple of quid an hour less then good luck to them - after they go down the motorway the wrong way a few times they might think twice.
Govt said last week dont expect east europeans to bail you out of this - work with the indigenous population.
