[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7798915, member: 946"] I agree with you, I shifted round for work that locals wouldn't do too, it was just driving for contractors instead of manual work. I don't think its a particularly good business model to rely on cheap labour though. For those that get to make a better life for themselves by working for higher wages than they could at home its great, but as you say as soon as they get a better offer they're off. I made good money driving in the US, took a bit of a hiding wage wise when I came here but it got me in the door and eventually I got a much better paying job. Having the borders shut here due to Covid has been a bit of a shock for those relying on foreign workers. [/QUOTE]
