Fighting Fund Update
I am pleased to announce that we have managed to get a contribution of £2000 from the National Taxi Trades Group (NTTG) and Pat Connor has very generously contributed £500 to kick off the fund.
We have purchased receipt pads with triplicate copies (one each for; payee, collector and information collator)
We will need the following volunteers; collectors, an information collator, a banker and a scrutiny committee of five persons.
The money will go into the bank account left over from the Checker Cars/AirportcarZ fight. This account requires two signatures on each cheque currently they are George Simms (secretary of Manchester Cab Committee) and Mohamed Ashraf (former Chairman ATA). Meetings of the general trade will be held in the Feeder Park on Tuesday 13th September at 11am and 7:30pm to answer any further questions
Sean Kenny
Chairman MCC
Footnote from MR Blackcabs:
The contribution of £500, Pat has recently made to the Cab Committee fighting fund is remarkable.
Pat has done his “porridge” on the job, he is probably thinking of retiring. It would be natural for anybody to think of themselves at such a time, however Pat does not think like that.
Pat's gesture has prompted MR Blackcab to make a contribution to the fund also. It should be stressed that MR have no financial interest in work at the Airport, MR are Manchester’s leading CREDIT cab company. However we are fully aware of the implications to the whole trade if this matter is not resolved.
The GMB has worked continually of this matter and raised considerable funding, thanks to the Trojan efforts of Sean Kenny. One has to wonder what the other ‘U’nions and Associations are doing.?
Returning to the matter of Pat, I know you are fond of my quotations (sic).
I think the following says it all;
“A machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men, no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man”.
Elbert Hubbard (1865-1915)
Pat Connor is an extraordinary man.
