Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Facing the Sub Committee? Magistrates or Crown Court?

Hi All,

I am a Midlands based solicitor and have been practicing for nearly 10 years. I specialise in advocacy and Taxi Licencing law (amongst other areas) and have represented drivers from both Hackney and Private Hire companies for many years having previously worked at one of Birmingham's largest law firms.

I now have my own law firm and continue to represent drivers.

If any Drivers out there require a free no obligation chat regarding licencing, criminal law, committee hearings, magistrates and crown court appeals, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I look forward to hearing from you and welcome your call.

Here is your first case, and you may as well take on TFL at the same time, the turning circle has to go

Reluctant to ask this question and display lack of knowledge on real life, but here goes. How can a self employed business owner be a member of a Trades Union? I was always under the impression Trades Unions were for employees only, mainly in industry. I can understand being members of Chamber of Commerce, CBI or Federation of Small Businesses.

I've always been of the understanding that if you are a self employed business person/entreprenuer, you wouldn't be eligible?

not unions but associations

not unions but associations

That I can understand but my interpretation of TT's comments were extolling the virtues of Union memebership?

I think that the answer is that some, like the NTA, are not unions but associations.

Helping establish appropriate licensing regimes through the Unions political input [many councillors will be sponsored supported by a Union] Dealings with your LA disciplines etc Supplying sick pay schemes Car vehicle purchase schemes [ cheaper than any other source] Cheap PH Hack Insurance Free 24 legal advice and representation/ for you and your immediate family on any issue. assist you in determining whether you are actually self employed, many arei n fact "Workers under the direction of the Company" which allows you to handle your own tax affairs but gives certain employment rights. Paid hols, disciplinary procedures, negotiations on every aspect of your working enviroment, working time regs, Health and safety etc. cheap holiday deals home insurance miles of fringe benefits. But the point is you as a worker can have immediate access to advice and assistance for your working enviroment, and of course by joining togetherstart to stamp out the malicious dishonest crooks so prvlevant in the Industry, cab drivers work more hours for less money in VERY dangerous circumstances than any other workers PURELY because they refuse to stick together ie get UNIONISED YOU WOULD BE MADE WELCOME IN MANY UNIONS YOU MIGHT CARE TO CONSIDER THE GMB WHICH HAS MANY PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS BRANCH'S www.gmb.org.uk
