It would appear that pressure from the newly established GMB branch has got the council to rethink their suggestion of a silly age limit. Lets hope the Leeds GMB use their national officers wisely thus ensuring the silly policy is binned. 
All of this without a strike I have you know.

Thats right GMB been in Leeds 2 minutes and solving all our problems, nothing to do with anybody else in the trade then. This was a closed council meeting that the public and GMB were thanked for their attendance and that was it, nobody but the actual committee members spoke in the meeting so how the GMB have made the council rethink I don't know. |

Yes they do, I apologise I was miss informed by other representatives at the meeting. This is what the GMB said :- Mr Bill Chard, GMB Leeds Private Hire Association in summing up his members concerns said there was a lot of drivers concerned about losing their livelihood, it was very important that proper consultation takes place before any decision was taken. If thats all it takes for the council to change there decisions, we can all sit back and leave it to the GMB then. Nothing to do with what the trade was doing before the GMB got involved. And by the way, it was the private hire forum members that came up with the idea, nothing to do with the hackney carriage trade. |

From what I can work out the GMB want to go forward with the rest of the trade, and not take over. I very much doubt the GMB is the panacea to all the Leeds trade's woes, but they will help.

If they have to get their own insurance and replace tyres etc then it's less. All the same it's not cheap it's just less hassle

And the trade, in time, will reap those benefits. |
