British supermarket chain Tesco attracts truck drivers with a bonus

The offer can be found in various job advertisements of the company, as the British news agency PA reported on Wednesday. Supermarket chains, logistics companies and other industries are currently struggling with major staff shortages because so many people in Great Britain are currently infected with Covid-19 or are notified as contacts of infected people.
