This isn’t a “transport industry” problem it is spread right across the job market where ever low paid work is found. I remember years ago there was an outcry because Primark were paying the people that made their clothes the equivalent of a pound a day. What was failed to be understood was that to the people making the clothes that was a living wage. they were able to house feed and clothe their families with that.
There are two ways to stop this. 1 is make it that every driver is paid the same and all food utilities and clothing etc costs the same across all eu countries but Starlin and co tried that. or limit drivers to drive trucks that are registered to their home country ie if your base is in Bratislava the truck your driving has to be registered from that base and driven from there.
both of those solutions negate the ethos of the eu of course.

If you take any thing from this post it is the poster has not got a clue what he is talking about, the uk could be the new Russian state or people live well on a quid a day, it’s a sign or a indicator of how simple some people are in this world, it always amazes me how some people survive in this world

Ironically the USA also does that more or less subject to state taxes.It’s more a problem of the working class voting like turkeys for Christmas in the form of low wage ‘competitiveness’ so the guvnor can increase his share of the take.
Let alone the same guvnor then exporting the jobs to slave labour sweat shop economies then telling us it’s good for us because it keeps ‘prices’ low.

On the clothes manufacturing, the quid a day may not be adequate. 2 quid might be, same as here you might get a driver working for 9.00 an hour and another on 16.00, the former may struggle with housing costs etc. There is a fair trade sewing scheme, but very few companies sign up to it.
What about the “fair trade” products,such as coffee,in which activists attempt to embarrass us in the west into paying more for a product because labour at the point of origin works for a pittance.On the assumption that we pay more for said product i wonder if the extra we pay actually reaches where it is intended and doesn’t get creamed off on the way.

That’s all above board anything that has that brand is exactly what it is fair trade the meaning is in the brand name
They all seemed happy enough with the pay they were getting.
In fact…the Filipino lads were loving life.
Bit grim for those that have to compete with them.

such happy keyboard warriors pity you didn’t go and do some research but judging by your response maybe that’s too much to ask.
2 mins on google turned up this google.co.uk/search?ei=pXau … CAs&uact=5
and this google.co.uk/search?source= … CAg&uact=5
in case maths isn’t your strong suit that works out at approximately 1 pound a day (allowing for media hype rounding down.
second point is where was the uk mentioned. the whole video was about European mainland. and yes it is becoming like Russia as far as Russia was a communist state and part of their regulations was that everyone was paid the same and everything cost the same across the country. ie if a pint of milk cost you 2 roubles in St Petersburg it would cost 2 roubles in Vladivostok. However, if you don’t like the Starlin example how about ho chi mihn is that one better because Vietnam was still a communist country.
so tell me oh intelligent one how have you survived?
Hey you 2. Who the hell is Starlin?
