your moaning your head off about people who are prepard to make a stand just because you are to much up your own arse to do anything other than try to shout down people who are willing to stand up
typical
but hey dont worry about me you just enjoy your wage rises that you clearly never earned as you got the card hoping guys like me would leave to create a shortfall, but so long as your alright jack thats all that matters
26 years’ experience and you’ve thrown it all away for the sake of spending £300 on DCPC training. Joking aside, I really cannot get my head around why anyone would do that and put themselves in the situation where they now have no income.
As for your other point, you know what assumption is the mother of, don’t you? I haven’t driven a truck for over 18 months and therefore I have not benefitted from drivers’ wages going up in the wake of DCPC. But for those that have, fair play. If I was still in the haulage industry I would be making hay while the sun shines, just as many of those lads are. Because the days of almost naming their own hourly rates won’t last forever.
its not all about the dcpc its how the job has gone these days, at one time being a driver was a good laugh and good gang of lads all around, the changes that have come into the game over the last 10 years have changed the job right around to me, no smoking in cabs was a huge kick up my arse, not that i never took any notice it of it i still smoked away, the little hittlers in tranport trying to give the drivers hell at different depots and me trying not to land a punch on there noses was something i didnt like feeling in the job : ) but like always we just get used to it and keep our gobs shut, yes sir no sir 3 bags full etc
then we got the digi card and collecting speed infringments left right and centre. if somethings happens out on a job they will check the digi and if there are lots of speed infringments that will be used against a driver, then we get the fuel bosses and charts for which driver is doing the best bollox automatics start to become the norm and there dangerous on round a bouts if you dont get it right you have to stop with no way to increase acceleration and if you get it wrong and come out at 2 miles an hour you get horns going from everyone etc
then lads start to leave good lads as they find other jobs even in factorys that are paying them more an hour than driving can give them, and in come more and more drivers from over seas, it got so bad at one place i used to deliever to that the drivers room was just full of non English conversation.
then incomes the dcpc to tell me that if i want to stay in the job that has changed to how it is today full of health and safety ■■■■, i will need to spend a week in a class room to learn all about the job and rules and regs, it doesnt matter a blind bit of difference that i have been doing the job for the last 26 years it counts for nothing, you would of thought they would have given us the rights to it based on experience but no they want everyone to do it and pay for it themselves otherwise they will not be allowed to drive them anymore
its the biggest slap in the face to me so with along with all the other changes in the game over all the years its just the final straw
there is some madness in my method as if the money does rocket up like i hope it does i will not be to proud to go and sit in the class room and get one, but if its staying the same as it is then there is no need for me to get one
but over all i protest about europe bringing in all these crazy things that impact on my life and everyone elses life, i never voted for this, i never voted for these changes in my life that europe brings in
i certainly hate what is becoming a polish and over seas type of area not because i am rasist but because its changing our towns and places we work and like the dinosaur i am i dont want these changes rammed down my neck
we have our own kids who will need jobs in the future or there kids we have to look at things long term and not the short term fix, by opening the flood gates it might solve a wage problem and keep people working for less money but it creates a lot more problems. people have less and less money to spend so end up getting into debts etc
anyway its getting like a party political broadcast this speach of mine
but for my ukip have all the answers that i want to hear, i want to stop the madness that i can see that is going around before it gets far worse than it is
i will never again vote for labor having been a labor man all my life, i have never voted torys and never will, the sdp were a party of upper class political correct loonys so they never got a look in either
the bnp never got a look in either as i am not a racist even though i share many of there concerns there kick em all out rubbish was just not the answer, now along come ukip and there emigration policy based on the Australian one
that to me is a winer, just on that one issue alone, but there are many many more things to ukip as there growning and learning and best of all listening to people out on the streets
