Sidevalve:
The company is covering its arse, as it has every right to.
Absoulutely…
The company has every right to cover it’s arse and ensure that the people it hires are who they say they are.
What you actually said was.
Sidevalve:
Don’t recall any of them objecting. why would you; unless you’ve got something to hide?
They don’t have anything to hide but, they do know if they don’t produce a licence they will go home unpaid. Therefore, they are coerced into showing their ID.
I should add at this point. It’s turned into this situation of driver checks because the slack-arsed take the money and run agencies didn’t ensure the drivers they hired were legit in the first place. So companies ended up with non-qualified people turning up and doing shifts.
We need a better system. Worringly, facial recognition might be the what we end up with big brother.
