Presumably because the labour market values us as worth less than other workers.


everyone does tbh

Looks like this pathetic situation still prevails WHY????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Working a beautiful city like Edinburgh it's easy, I like the job, it's an easy job if you make it easy, I'm hungry, I like meeting randoms, I like to listen to people as I enjoy conversation, I'll never be lonely or feel isolated or out of touch from the real world, I like to observe real life moving around me, I feel a part of my surroundings, I use money earned more wisely as I appreciate how hard it is sometimes to make a fiver an hour, you ask WHY, I love working on my own :wink:

SO WHY ?????????????????????[/quote]'

Anyone who works in a service industry ie shops,restaurants, hotels, bin men, bar staff, taxi drivers etc, are treated by many in a contemptuous/ subservient manner. Basically because many want this one upmanship over another person - councils are a prime example of this, who will use the tax payers cheque book to get their own way.

The people/professions that you mention are all PAYE, who work for companies who will negotiate in order to protect shareholders money, or government departments who have a duty to the electorate. To top that, they all have a closer working environment that breeds bonding/camaraderie .........taxi drivers have none of that.

In our case taxi drivers are self employed, by nature many are loose cannons, as such they will not/cannot be told or organised by another, councils take advantage of that.

Exactly thick gormless cretins :D :D .Of course what you left out was and are too effing stupid to recognise the need to organise themselves MORONS :D

Since the Condem and now Tory government the number of self employed workers has risen by 45% and not surprisingly their earnings have dropped by 38%......NUFF SAID #-CNUTS =D> =D> =D>

The Unions are too stupid, and too lazy, to go out to organise and expand their membership, the business is out there waiting for them - they cannot be arsed! Anyone/organisation who cannot be bothered to make the effort - then neither can I. Anyway there is enough corruption out there without contributing to it.

If you believe that the self employed have had their earnings dropped by 38%, then you must be very naive - the tradesmen that I come across are doing very nicely from the black economy.
