Government is planning to set up a ?hustle truck? to get the most out of those looking for casual work.

Announcing the plan to Labour and Immigration Minister Derrick Burgess said he was worried about those not fully participating in the economy because of addiction problems.

?We have talked about a hustle truck. Government will pick people up and take them, whether they work for a day or two, pay them so much an hour. That?s in the works.

?Those folks are still part of society, they should still be doing something. That will be a way to help.

?It won?t eradicate the problem but it will make life easier for them if they can earn some money on their own.?

But he conceded addicted workers were not easy to handle.

He said: ?Sometimes you get these guys on a job and they want to be paid daily. ?We have had guys taken on and people have tried to train them but they walk off the job.?

?There are good employers out there trying to assist those type of guys but they can?t spend all their time trying to find them because they walked off the job. It?s not an easy task.?
