It will last until the new passes have reversed the situation and there is a glut of drivers looking for work, then we shall see new contracts being imposed just as before with a drastic reduction in pay and conditions. The ‘empty shelves’ propaganda will morph into ‘drivers pay rises hitting the cost of your weekly shop’ headlines becasue that will be better received than continuing the current ‘bring back the immigrant labour’ approach.Someone care to work out the effect per £1 hr on the price of one can of beans on a trailer load? Probably about an average 12 hrs of driver pay including drive, load, drive, unload, return.
it’s got to be less than 1 pence per can with a full load
If you have 30 ton of beans for example
500g a tin would be 30000 ÷ 0.5
which mean you could carry a full load of 60,000 tins of beans
1 pound x 12 is 12 pound a day
I get 0.0002 pound per tin
