Two Poles politely decline to assist the driver shortage

ETS:

Bin Man:
A polish driver on the radio yesterday said why would we want to come to the U.K to help you for 3 months, ■■■■ in bottles because we cannot use the toilets and pay to park for the same money we can earn at home.

Sorry, what toilets can you (they) not use so they have to ■■■■ in bottles? Pay to park except you pay with the company’s money. I’m no RHA advocate but come on, talking straight out the rear end doesn’t do us drivers any good either. Same money they can earn at home, really…At home but driving in Germany/Italy/Netherlands etc. for 1 month away maybe

I am repeating what the guy said i have no experience of such things (being a bin man)

There has been a lot of discussion about facilities on the forum including not being allowed to use toilets at some places, i wasn’t surprised to hear the guy saying it is one of the reasons he wont come back.

Fair enough but as anyone who’s ever had experience of working/driving on continent and here will tell you this country is a crap hole compared to most of Europe from a truck driving point of view.

I’ve only worked here but I challenge you to find me a non-tramping job in Poland which pays the same or more compared to a non-tramping job in the UK (and doesn’t involve a daily 3 hour car drive to Germany and back).

That wasn’t my claim and that wasn’t what I commented on

~5% of unemployment in Britain and you think that the post brexit purge Tories would seriously open the gates? If anything my guess is that they gonna squeeze every half able body on benefits into a position where it is starvation under universal credit or work.

And what is wrong with getting people who are able to work back to work?

■■■■ right! Too many sponges of working-age in this country! We need to be far tougher with them.

Start with all those on furlough complaining that furlough (free money) is going to end! :exclamation: Lazy :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

Nothing, for years too many English happy to sit on thier arse lapping up what Fartage and DM spout, omplaining about EEs coming here taking jobs they didn’t want to do whilst they claim benefits. get them in the care homes, kitchens And bin lorries, or get them out of the country and let someone in who wants to work.

Bit of a disappointment for the RHA then, not only is the spotlight being shone on conditions in this job but the RHA are also starting to be seen for what they are pro poor conditions and pay

Plenty of fit people, on the dole, who can work but refuse… can’t blame the government’s taking away payments from a 30 year old bloke living at home playing games drinking and chatting on line … to many lazy out there.l. Ask them work for the dole as genuine people suffer through lack of government assistance due to the lazy lot.

Dont be gormless - if you work for your dole who do you think your boss is going to hire? Someone he has to pay or someone forced to work for free?

We would all be unemployed while being forced to work for £70 a week within 3 months with your cunning plan.

What would “being tougher” with them do? The british welfare system is a pittance compared to germany and france and you want it “tougher”? I hope you dont have an accident leaving you unable to work - my guess is you would be crying like a baby when you saw the pittance you are meant to “live” on.

Starts with the usual pettiness …. The unemployed, don’t just get £70 a week, what about rent council tax, free prescription all others perks you get off of the state… facts remain, the government can stop payments and make people work… who said anything about paying them 70 quid a week to drive a truck… plenty of work out there too manny lazy people …. Look, there is no truck. Shortage in Australia as there is as a fairworks, that sets a minimum wage so no company can pay less than the amount set by the government … also after 8 time and half after 10 double … yet, pro eu lovers like,you would have a heart attack at rules over here … who is the gormless one. Me? For being smart and not being stupid to work for comp,whines who exploint . Or supporting a party who actually wants to helpyou drivers…

You had the chance to move the EU, but, nope, to weak rather res in in uk and cry.

Could someone calling the jobless lazy explain how these people are going to pay for training, the test, medical and expenses to get to the place where they can get lessons.

I asked if jobseekers can currently do this and was told no.

To be fair, seems it depends on what part of the country you must be in, a friend of mine advised me, he got funding from job centre.

He got training, test and possibly 1 retest… and free dcpc …. He’s got help from haringay council.

Very, very lucky man! Getting the dole to pay for retraining is rarer than bumping into Elvis and Lord Lucan on your way home from a big lottery win.

Have you ever been on the dole? Or have you just read about it in tabloids? Try it - see how flush you feel.

Look - if you are forcing someone to go and drive a truck for free then why would the buisness take them? Theres only one reason right? Can you tell me what that reason might be? Why do you think “youth opportunites” were so popular with companies? Cos they got free labour. What other reason could there be?

If someone will do your job for free what do you think your boss is going to say to you when you want paying for working? Hint the first word starts with “F”

Oh - are you claiming the tories want to “help” drivers? Then how come they didnt do a thing to “help” for the last 11 years theyve been in power?
