Lorry drivers have been poorly paid for decades that I can agree
Drivers in 2018 were earning the same wage as they were in 1998 so 20 years worth of compounded inflation meant wage cuts in real terms
There’s a lot wrong with the EU system don’t get me wrong some of it is actually good and well thought out and implemented but other parts are just plain stupid
With the IR35 loophole closed many drivers simply did other jobs (as I did) all they wanted was the chance to actually earn a living that was decent for the task in hand
What we have seen now is 20 years worth of compounded stagnation come back to bite the government and industry squarely in the ass
