Hi all,

Was chatting to one of the few British agency drivers at our place last night who told me that he only gets the straight 8 hour shifts now because Manpower always dish out the long shifts to the Polish drivers.

Apparently the Polish drivers are employed by a division of Manpower based in Poland and they are paid around £3 per hour less than the UK drivers. Manpower charge Royal Mail the same rate so make more profit on the deal.

He also reckons that the drivers at the Sainsburys depot in Bristol are almost all Polish now!

What hope is there for the bloody future if it continues like this!?

He hadn’t just come out the pub where he had talking to a mate, had he?
