sector pay

Hi all,

if sector pay is (lunch money etc) the revenue will also be going after truck drivers through out the uk as they get paid expenses per day.

with the amount of trucking companies/drivers in the uk there would be uproar with the road haulage association/unions etc on taxing this income.

one example eddie stobart transport has around 2000 trucks on the road so he could easily have about 3500 drivers who get paid lunch expenses(who will be pretty pid off if there taxed on it).
if possible could you get balpa to get in contact with other unions whose members would be affected by this and have a mass protest?

god help them (revenue) if they try and bring it in here
