More than lorry drivers and engineers employed by Hanson, on the Castle Cement contract, will hold a ballot for strike action after rejecting a pay offer.
HGV driver shortage: UK firms embark on the long road to plug the gap. Read more. You have to professionalise the industry and that involves taking on drivers from an early age and giving them the time and the expertise that you would in any trade, putting them into a FE [Further Education] college and allowing them to learn everything that they need to learn.
This could easily take two years and cover all aspects of industry requirements. Yet the transport industry expects drivers to work up to two or three weeks in a vehicle, often stopping at dangerous locations with high-value loads, at risk of crime, along with poor sleep patterns for the driver. The WSWS pointed out the stay-at-home protest had been organised by rank-and-file drivers and not the union. James : And why would they? In my view they exist to keep a few people at the top in a very luxurious lifestyle, while everyone at the bottom tries to unite and get things done fairly.
They might have done in the past. But I see no evidence of unions taking positive action for people. They just capitulate. Someone like [Unite leader] Len McCluskey has no idea what it is to be a worker. Rarely do they speak for the workforce.
Everyone wants to be able to move on and have a nice house and nice holidays. Look at the responsibility that these young lads have on the roads in the UK and where people are asking these loads to go. If you try to drive a truck where the more affluent live, I guarantee there will be a weight restriction on that road, or that village, to stop you going anywhere near it.
You try to get to Bristol, to Shepton Mallet, and you have a look on the map at the weight restrictions that stop you moving all around there. All that is required here is that people just need to see that these things need to change.
The reason why these protests will work is because of the shortages. I hope people read the charter and I hope it resonates with them. The Sun on Sunday had reported that HGV license holders in the military were being placed on standby in what was clearly aimed as a threat against drivers.
James : I am an ex-soldier. A soldier in my time was trained to drive a DAF truck, with a trailer on. Using a forklift driver and a power pump truck, they can load a double-deck truck with less manpower than it takes eight soldiers.
