Pay rise for Aldi lorry drivers amid shortage

Aldi has increased its wages for lorry drivers amid a chronic shortage of drivers across the industry.

The lack of drivers has caused disruption and delays in various supply chains, which has led to product shortages in some industries.Morrisons has said it is setting up schemes to train staff to become lorry drivers. The Road Haulage Association has estimated there is a shortage of 100,000 HGV drivers across the UK.

Lies

yep folks here it comes not like some folk do not deserve it but the virus is a great tool aka has its advantage pay rises for some, more time off for others & opportunities for the monopolies in different sectors to milk, no punt intended the consumer, again?!? 👀💭🤔🤷‍♂️😷

Drivers did not leave because of the wages they left because of the shit management

Is this a positive result from Brexit? Low wages being risen due to higher demand for workers?

Cheers Brexit!BrexitCarnage

Inflation

We spent 5 years telling Europeans that we hated them and wanted them to leave. Now a lot have left. Including a lot of truck truckers. The slight majority must be very pleased with themselves.

HGV ‘musical chair’ driver poaching could ultimately be the name of the game now! The law of supply and demand is biting hard! It’s everyone for themselves while this critical shortage lasts!

But that suggests cheap foreign labour was why poorly paid; and took the majority of the jobs. Funny how Gov happy for this to happen. Guess its the preference the Gov give them. As need to consider them first; else why travel from Eastern Europe for jobs. unless work assured.

A genuine question a 44 tonne lorry is filled with groceries. The lorry driver gets paid £1 per hour more than he has been. It takes 10 hours to deliver the lorry load of groceries = an extra £10 on drivers wages . This is not going to add much to the cost of groceries.

There’s still the same number of drivers. Won’t be any more deliveries. Cost will be passed on to shoppers.

Company I work for part time, have just given us 7% plus £500 bonus, and promised more later in year. My pay has gone from £10.75 p/hour to over £15 p/h since April this year.

It begins ! The cost of living is rapidly rising and we’ll now see where all the east Europeans, who’ve now gone home, slotted into our society. Where will there be other shortages of staff ? The NHS , building trade , care workers, cleaners.

Or as it’s otherwise known: Bribery.
