Rejected petition Make HGV salaries a minimum of 38.000/year

To resolve the national lorry driver shortage, HGV salaries a minimum of 38.000/year would bring people back on roads that at the moment do other jobs than lorry driving.
A courier on a van, a taxi driver, they all earn more than a lorry driver. A lot of jobs are better paid than a lorry driver

More details

To solve the national shortage and also to provide a better living style for the lorry drivers that are so underestimated, but we and NHS kept the country going through the pandemic. After it...NOBODY CARES AGAIN!
