Compulsory minimum wage for class 1 HGV drivers of £18 per hour
We call on the Government to set minimum wage of £18 per hour for HGV class 1 drivers, due to the high risks these drivers are exposed to and the risk of fines. We also believe it would improve safety of others on the road.
We think a minimum wage of £18 per hour would better reflect the pressure and stress HGV drivers are under.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
