Finally, Equal Pay for Women Lorry Drivers

My agency is using the term Parity Pay on all our pay rates. Google it. It basically means equal pay for men and women. WTF? As if there has been a different pay rate for women drivers, when? Last year? Last decade? Last 50 years?

I would understand if this problem existed in recent history, but this can only been seen as virtue signalling. What is this supposed to achieve. To attract more women drivers into the industry? I’m falling of the chair rolling on the floor laughing.

Pay discrimination is not the cause of lack of women drivers. It’s like plumbers, and builders, and mechanics. Men are more attracted to those professions.

I think it’s a distraction to compensate for the crap pay rates shoved under our noses after IR 35. Although it means equal pay for full time workers, it’ also means equal pay for men and women. A better choice of words could have been used. That and the NHS rainbow on the email. We all know where that came from.

Your thoughts. And if you are a transport or working in agency admin, please spare us your patronising responses. Your’e not egg heads.

What on earth are you going on about? Parity pay is same as the full-timers get. Nothing to do with what ■■■ the driver is. :unamused:

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I have always said lorry drivers are thick as ■■■■!

Notice his sneaky post edit. :smiley:

Just in case there’s another edit :wink:

Okay be nasty. You got no friends, no missus, no one wants to be around you, so you come here to be your true self. Nasty, cruel, looking for a rise. Who cares what you think? nobody here. nobody anywhere. You are good at putting lorry drivers down, because you want to stigmatise us, as dumb people.

Nobody cares about low life trollers, getting in the odd pot-shot. Is that how you waste your day. putting down people? I know people like you. Youre born with a nasty streak. You look for forums online where you bully, put down, troll, put in your snide remarks, why? because you have a need to be nasty, because you are nasty by nature.

Nobody needs people like you, the world is better off without people like you, life is tough enough without people like you. If you are so bright, then why arent you on a science forum> why are you here with us thick people?

Come on smart guy. Lets hear what qualifications you have, what achievements you have, the millions you have in the bank. Its so easy to run other people down to convince yourself that you are smart. Your not. I know when someone is acting in this manner to build themselves up.

I know that you have insecurities about your own intelligence. There is no other rational reason for saying remarks like that, other than to make yourself look smarter on this board. You are fake smart. Come on. do tell us of your achievements.

Lets hear how you made it in life, your grand achievements, because a successful person would never say horrible things like that. No smart person Ive ever met, talked in that manner. Real smart people don’t take cheap opportunities to put people down like that.

I bet you are drive a ford something, and are on no more than 35k a year.

Are you talking to yourself or someone in particular?

It went over my head too, must be late.

Most likely the adverts are referring to equal pay rights under the Agency Worker Regulations after 12 weeks working at the same client. Perhaps they have negotiated parity rates from day 1 with the client, could be possible. In the current climate, this may attract badly needed drivers.

That’s a lot of words when you really could’ve said “sorry guys, my misunderstanding, sorry for making a ■■■■ of myself. I didn’t realise parity pay meant same as full-timers.”

That’s it, competition’s closed in mid July.
Meaningless rant of the year goes to Tonyshortstraw.
Congratulations.

I stand by my earlier comment!

Wow, who ever lit that touch paper, I hope you stood well back! That’s the shortest fuse I’ve seen in some time!!! :open_mouth:

W T F ■■?

The name sums it up he was at the end of the queue when common sense was handed out and he drew the “short straw”

WOWSERS !! :smiley: Have the mods removed the post he’s replying to or what?..have I missed summet?
Not a lot of love in the room here is there? :smiley:
Tony Shortstraw… or Shortfuse.? :smiley:

I’m assuming the cretin was having a pop at me. It’s fair enough to have a pop at someone but when your diatribe reveals that your IQ begins with a decimal point others reading it tend to reasonably think that you’re a bit of a cabbage quite frankly.
