Had a bit of an argument with a friend the other evening. I spent a good few summer's after finishing school working for a contractor and always got paid by the hour and above the minimum wage at the time. My friend like a lot that are contracting is having awful trouble getting drivers at the moment but will only pay €100/day whatever a day is supposed to be. Anyway he managed to get a fella for 2 days last week to go wrapping that had worked for a different contractor in the past who had since gotten out of it, good driver and no problems with him for the two days. He did 20 hours he said and he nearly dropped when he asked him for €250 and got a bit thick with me when I said he was well entitled to it. Is it any wonder they can't get drivers. The fella doing the wrapping works in a pub aswell and gets €12/hr. Why should he spend a day slobbering at silage for any less.
