Closed Increase the minimum wage for HGV drivers

Closed on

Make the minimum wage for lorry drivers £14 an hour, as they are crucial for the country to run, as showed during the pandemic. Everything for every shelf was brought by lorry drivers

A lot recruitment agencies and employers pay ridiculous wages for night shifts, day shifts and 13-hours shift when it's vital for the country, the logistics of the everyday businesses and end the shortage of lorry drivers, as less and less people want to go to this area as it is demanding, punishable if you make a mistake and the risk reward is becoming less and less pleasant for any driver. We are just as needed as the NHS.
