Drivers plan demo over Brexit fears
LORRY drivers will protest today over fears that a no-deal Brexit could put them on a “highway to hell” if they are forced to drive for longer.
The “Grim Reaper” will join Unite members demonstrating outside the Department for Transport (DfT) against the possibility that an unplanned departure from the EU could allow the government to weaken or suspend working hours regulations.
Existing regulations limit drivers to working up to 10 hours a day, and a maximum of 56 hours a week.
