[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7721181, member: 51054"] Reading on this forum, I think the conditions of work are disgusting too, not allowing drivers to use welfare facilities when they unload, and this idea of having to pay for your own training. Lockdown has taught the country one thing, that is the lower paid jobs are indispensable and the country ticks along fine with a lot of the higher paid jobs "working from home" and basically doing nothing! Those lessons are soon forgotten as we open up. The country grinds to a halt without supermarket workers, farmers, lorry drivers, bin collectors etc (all the lowest paid jobs). We need to recalibrate and lower the wages at the top and increase at the bottom. One of the problems, is all politicians seem to come now from either the law or PPE followed by lobbying then getting selected as an MP, very very few have ever had a blue collar type job, I know the joke about Peter Mandleson having a fish and chip supper with his constituency party and asking someone to pass the Guacamole (mushy peas!!!!) is probably untrue, but there is a deeper truth hidden within there which I think is very true.
