We’ve now seen a hyped-up shortage slowly but surely be turned into reality via the backdoor…
Romanians going home…
…Hours relaxed, and then rigidly enforced just as the unsuspecting might have made a habit of it…
Managed motorways - going nowhere.
Cycle Lanes - going nowhere.
No premium for driving in London
No full time directly employed contracts @ current Agency rates
and more employers paying “shift rate” rather than “hourly rates”…
So £145 per shift - might sound good for a shift that is maximum 8 hours, or pays overtime after 8 hours - BUT in realiticy is 12-15 hours every shift possible, 5-6-5-6…
The message clearly being sent out to the main workforce is that you WILL hang up your keys, and let someone else have a go!
But who??
