Hello skippy,as you obviously feel very passionately about this lack of genitalia,perhaps you would like to contact your local GMB office and discuss ways forward for your collegues.... :roll:

I don't believe for one minute if that the issue is about there being a shortage of taxis. if I am correct it won't be long before the drivers are paying £1 to one pound 50 every time they pull on the airport rank.. that would generate a great deal more money than the pittance they are paying now. Manchester... Liverpool... ring any bells...


Maybe you should look at the link in captain cabs post. They are already paying every time they pick up. That is on top of the £540.
I know they are .... but they will make a deal more if they open it up to all taxi's and not just the members of this association..

Why are you laughing CC, :?: you and the rest of the union reps should be clamping down hard on these charges, the airports and stations require cabs to bring and remove there punters so why should a cab company or individual driver have to pay for the privilege

I think it's cos of the irony of it Skip. You have your opinions but you don't actually join an association or a union to fight for what you believe in :wink:
