A recruitment consultant has been sacked for telling a 'gobsmacked' lorry driver he could not get an interview for a delivery job just eight miles from his home because he was British. Michael Fowler, 39, received an email from Bulgarian recruitment consultant Plamena Ivanova telling him 'our positions exclude British candidates' after he applied for a delivery driver vacancy near his home in Salisbury, Wiltshire. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5395107/Driver-turned-UK-job-British.html

For a minute I thought it might be our depot.

Where is Nick, perhaps he lacks a spine.

Right Vince, I have a question.
I am fed up with working with the public and colleagues. I've always wanted to be a lorry driver. I can transfer to our local depot and then be pi5t through my tests. I realise I will be tied in but I will also have to leave the coop and work for the distribution company, to be fair as soon as I've worked long enough I will be looking for work elsewhere. I know a few people at freight liner and maritime who both have local depots. Do you think I Should?
I have worked long hours and shifts, earlies lates and nights my whole working life anyway so bot worried about that aspect.
Adrian.

If a company is willing to put you through your tests then they normally have some type of tie-in, typically two years with diminishing payback over the term so I suppose that's the first thing to consider. Have a look and an ask on TruckNet, particularly the "New and wannabe drivers" forum. Back in the day, when Brits used to travel the length and breadth of Europe I used to love the job. Nowadays it's just a means to an end although I still enjoy the solitary nature of it rather than having to cope with office politics. And I can pick up work with a few hours notice as and when I want it, which suits my boating lifestyle. But really, only you can say if it's for you.

Your thread title actually is very much in the same vein as the Mail itself.
Attention grabbing but beneath it nothing. It's a none story given she appears to have acted alone and paid the price.

Interesting. No doubt if it had been an Englander, it would have been in every UK newsprint, and you would have been one of the first to condemn?

Maybe, but it's equally possible that she was acting under company instructions and "being sacked" is just a euphemism for "being told to stay home for a few days until the hoo-hah dies down".

I just think it's a none story. Lots of people won't get past the headline on the Mail and immediately form a judgement, this is exactly what the Mail want.

A non-story indeed. Discrimination against British workers in Britain by companies in Logistics has been rife for years. Its no accident that there are companies around here with an almost 100% non British workforce, supplied by foreign agencies.

So is the census that it's a conspiracy and she's not been sacked and that the company has not stopped using that angency

You lot don't half get wound up by the Tory rags. As is their intent! Throw in a migrants story, watch you jump shout and wobble around! Calm down dears. There are crims and ne'er do wells in every section of society, even some on here, though not all have been caught and branded.

Well they might....more likely they won't ...be good if all these companies would come under scrutiny Would also be good if all the big charities were now investigated following Oxfams behaviour....I bet there are others who deserve naming and shaming

I have had my MI6 colleagues examine all the members of this forum with a fine tooth-comb and apart from a few slightly iffy haircuts and rough boats everyone is squeaky clean. It was a bit of a surprise I have to admit but nobody on here is or has ever been anything other than a model citizen. in every possible way. Your insinuations are downright abominable.
