EU drivers won’t return to help UK ‘get out of the s***’, says European union boss
European lorry drivers are not keen to return to the UK to help ease the country’s delivery shortages, said a union leader representing hauliers across the EU.
Edwin Atema of the Dutch FNV Union said: “The EU workers we speak to will not go to the UK for a short-term visa to help the UK get out of the s*** they created for themselves”.
“Drivers need way more than just a visa and a payslip,” he told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme. "A Marshall Plan is needed for the whole of Western Europe to drag this entire industry back to the surface."
