Did you know that 60per cent of people on benefit are in employment ?

So does that mean the Tax Payers are subsidizing employer business's

Yes, and it's been going on for years.

But not when you get your independence ???

employers cannot pay higher wages because they would either lose all their customers or go out of business after cheap foreign imports made by people on a tenth of the wages are snapped up by their customers in preference to the home made product !!!!

the majority of taxi/ PH drivers are self employed and this does not mean that only those on benefits can gain entry to work

the problem with our trade is that everyone outside it is looking to drive down fares for the benefit of consumers that includes

1) customers constantly phoning round trying to get the best price
2) councils licensing too many drivers which benefits their own coffers AND gets them votes by being able to claim policies designed to keep public transport costs down
3) the ridiculous border control policies of the UK which allow a plentiful and uninterrupted supply of low skilled foreign drivers enabling the less scrupulous operators to keep their prices at rock bottom
4) Consumer organisations and TV pundits constantly advising people to Haggle over all prices
5) A total lack of any proper inland revenue registration scheme allowing drivers to work for cash in hand

I've said this before but in relation to the likes of the big super market chains. They may brag about the amount of jobs they create but what they don't tell you is very few of the jobs they create are full time. Many are only for 15 contracted hours but then they let workers work extra hours to make up money, but not consistently. If however they have their holidays they only get the 15 hours holiday pay they are contracted to, it's a scam on a large scale imo. Also because you're only contracted to 15 hours you're not entitled to WTC but you entitled to other benefits. These companies are a drain on our resources paying little back by way of employers contributions.
