Taxi Driver Online

The York Taxi Association apparently had their A.G.M last night and it's all change, the old Secretary who has been there for the last 6 years was sent to Coventry by half the members for getting a part time job with the NVQ training firm, some of the less intelligent members are convinced he has changed sides and gone to work for the Council.His lady partner who was on the Committee for the last 15 years has also come in for the same treatment and gone as well,Straight in as their replacements are people who were Private Hire drivers but got issued with a free plate, and another who two years ago was quoted in the local press as campaigning for the Council to De-Regulate, the Chairman has also been ousted and the new brigade has promised to fight the Council on everything and anything that they consider un reasonable the Keep Left sign has a whole new meaning, watch this space.

thats democracy for you

look at Downing street.............

Thats right, the new regime has already doubled the membership fee so that they have a fighting fund for further court cases, what they are planning is anybodies guess, but it may all end in tears.

And in the process probably halved the membership.

It's shame they can't appreciate the benefits of a friendly face when it comes to assessment. I would prefer to be assessed by somebody I was familiar with than a total stranger. Friendly faces in the current NVQ scene are few and far between

He is a friendly person and I am told he is very down at the way he was treated, seemingly half of the trade now ignore him, I don't think it will be long before he sells up and calls it a day.

And then joins the good fight for the big D.

Is de-reg on the agenda in York? It appears to me that perhaps there are more than just this chap who is in favour of de-reg in this association isn't it one member one vote and doesn't he have to be voted in

experience suggests if the assoc become militant then dereg will become a major issue in the near future.

A major issue for or against de-reg?

The association would be against deregulation i suspect....what the intelligent chap who has bought me beer in York did say was that the people now running the association in York....were granted free plates a short time ago....they have now taken over the association and very probably got that role by decrying the old committee.

If I was in their shoes I would leave that association, form another and choose another direction.

I have to say I have mixed feelings about de-reg. I would also think that if the association I was a member of was against de-reg it would not be prudent to vote in somebody who has been known to be for de-reg previously. These types of people are a risk to principals IMO
