I would imagine they'll get a basic wage but the extras and add ons will be lucrative.
Otherwise as you say why would they come?

It hasn't got much attention in the press, but on Thursday the govt brought in a rule stopping EU citizens entering the UK using their EU ID card. They need a passport now. 200 million EU citizens don't have a passport, as you can travel around the EU on an identity card. As well as a kick in the nuts for British tourism - cheap weekend away travellers will just go somewhere else within the EU (in the last couple of days Easyjet have cut more than half of their flights on the route I use .. coincidence maybe?) it will be just another reason for European drivers to stay put.

FFS sake jon its not a B issue there is a shortfall of 120,000 lorry drivers in Poland, Belgium is 5,000 short and i believe its around 400,000 for the whole of the EU. Where have they gone probably to do better paid jobs that don't involve overnight sleeping in cabs and washing in buckets of water or staying in **** hotels and using motorway facilities.
I started work 3 months ago in a larger supermarket warehouse and as a Brit am still in the minority. The vast majority of the workforce is still young eastern europeans. The lazy ****s in this country don't want to work in these jobs because its minimum wage and hard work. Their entitlement of going to Uni to study and the promise of high flying jobs or becoming influencers is still what some aspire to. I walk an average of 8 miles per 8 hour shift and have a rate to work to, its 3pm till 11pm with the option of extra hours doesnt appeal to youngsters who have their social life to live up to. I'm 58 and my generation are fast approaching retirement or like me some have already retired, we grew up and left school where the unemployment rate was 1 in 10 (wasn't there a song about that :0 ) A different attitude is leaving the job market and it is not being filled with the same attitude towards having or needing to work hard!
Why would anyone want to do this job or be a lorry driver with **** conditions. Its Responsibility, Commitments and Pride but that is fast waining from this country as handouts, dole and freebies are an easier choice for many. All this I cant find a job or have the skill set to work is ********. i didn't need a skill set, exam results to do this job just have an attitude to work hard and put myself out there. There are still jobs available in this warehouse but for some reason the locals would rather sit on their arses and whinge about the state of the country!

What a load of rubbish. The use of passports is a good thing every other country in the world requires one for entry so it can't be a problem can it? Guess what the EU doesn't and hasn't a clue how many terrorists and extremists are 8nside it's borders and guess what it's the EU that has suffered the most terrorist attacks in recent years because of this but you put your Lefty spin on it to suit your end.
Ref Easy Jet, nothing to do with Covid then and people in general not wishing to travel overseas? Let's add into the mix that companies had employees travelling to different places for meetings that now use Teams etc but don't let that get in the way of a good Left Wing spun lie .
As already stated UK businesses are still full of Europeans, some left because of Covid and to be closer to family some have left and will leave because they have made the money they came to make. If you hang around in Lefty places like Twitter or the Labour Party you start believing all the bull**** they spout and you become part of the problem

Stand down the Walmington on Sea defence brigade. The war on conservative Islam is chip shop paper wrapping since the Christian armies legged it. At least this time more got out than just Surgeon Brydon. It's all about these pesky Chinese now. Tally Ho

Blimey? Have you been queuing too long for fuel?
You're wrong about most of that .. the EU requires travellers from OUTSIDE it to have a passport to get in ... but not for citizens WITHIN it to move about. Like the USA .. do you understand?
The flight cuts have been IN THE LAST FEW DAYS ... that's why I wrote 'in the last few days'
And I'm not a member of the Labour Party.

London hardly has any fuel, it's being a nightmare for my vans, we're having to make sure we've got fuel before heading into town.
FWIW, everyone I know in London was against brexit.

That's what the voting showed too to be fair
I was thinking more about farage country.
All settled down up here. My local petrol station put signs up early on asking people to just take £30 and its not run short yet
