A Union For HGV Drivers
The modern world runs on complex transport and logistics networks that supply goods and services to people all over the planet. HGV drivers are an integral part of this process, yet their work is often overlooked by consumers.
Recent years have seen a slowdown in recruitment in the industry, with a national shortfall of HGV drivers leading to problems with supply chain efficiencies as well as a lack of skilled workers during times of extreme weather. HGV drivers who are still in the business suffer from stress, poor diet, and lack of overnight stopping facilities. It’s a tough line of work and one that is set to get tougher as prices increase and wages stagnate.
The Workers Union and HGV Drivers
The Workers Union is here to support HGV drivers, van drivers and anybody who drives for work. We have the expertise to help you if you’ve experienced bullying, harassment, discrimination, and stress at work. We understand the challenges you face – from the constant pressure to deliver on time, to long hours, fatigue, and delays.
So, if you believe your employer is giving you a raw deal, then get in touch with us.
The Worker Union is the Future
Unlike traditional HGV drivers’ unions, we do not have a network of reps or large, flashy offices. Our approach is based on fighting for the rights of individual workers.
We will not
- ask you to wait a few months before you can use our services
- force you to take a particular political line
- engage in collective action
Digital First
When you join us, you’ll access a digital dashboard that will connect you to our experts. There’s no time spent trying to get hold of reps and no phoning a central switchboard. Simply log in, outline your query and we will be in touch.
Visit our Why Join page for more information about how we can help you, or if you’re ready to sign up for basic membership, then you can join our family absolutely free. If you decide to upgrade to full membership, you can do so from as little as 27 pence per day.
