Retired people and women must be recruited as digger and dump truck drivers to meet demand in the constructionAn estimated 1,500 vacancies in the industry has led to a crisis in the hiring of heavy machinery drivers.
Brian Coogan of Construction and Quarry Machinery Show said: “We realise our industry obviously hasn’t been of appeal to women to join nor have they been clamouring to get in and yes there is a massive gender difference obviously as a result. “They are more reliable time keepers, never show up to work with hangovers, don’t mess about as much as men and do the job just as good.”
Sure we'll all be down the dole office again before Christmas don't worry 👍
‘Retired people and women?’ The struggle for the equality and inclusion of women as people continues hahaha
