Where they get more preferential treatment. The poles,Romanian and other European drivers get there duties what ever they ask for . They get the office jobs before anyone can apply for. That is because the Manageress there is a Polish her self. The drivers are getting bullied to resign and if they do then she tells them that they will get better reference from me. She is dismissing drivers on minor and trivial faults, for not checking the bus properly, where drivers are not re-trained how to check the bus. Also drivers are dismissed where the engineers put the bus on the road signed it off as fit to be on the Road, later discovered that it was not to be fit and the two drivers were dismissed as the manager manipulated the documents and made drivers fault, the two drivers were Asian. And there at least ten drivers has been given final written warning for forgetting to put the finishing time. Where the polish, Romanian drivers they cant even speak English properly, they don't even know how to fill the defect reports because they cant even write. At the training they didnt know how to fill up a forms the manager filled it up for them. And when they are on the bus they cant understand English when there is an incident the buses go on diversion they carry on with the route. When they were being trained in the class there was only one person can speak bit of English and the tutor has to speak to all the others through that one person. Just imagine if there was major incident whats going to happen.

You would be if you said British people work harder than immigrants. British workers operate the most efficient car plant in Europe.
