I'm interested in a number of issues, and I suspect the union I pay my dues to will be present.

Let's hope those with big fat pathetic egos can deal with the issues at hand, and not spend valuable time fannying around on non issues.

And I think anyone banging on about training should declare an interest as to how much they have personally made in the past, and how much they plan to earn in the future, out of training drivers.

So the unlimited PH trade hasn't had a future since 1976?

So working longer hours for less is a future?..... hhmmmm?

Does the average PH driver work longer than the average taxi driver?

Seems they do here.... as they think they will earn more on a Hackney plate, but find out different when they get one.... some even go back to PH as the cost of keeping a wav gets too much so sell out to some other mug from PH....

Different where you are?....

Absolutely ditto.... Also discriminates against Hackney wav drivers as they have no choice in the vehicle they must buy....?

They do. There is more than one type of WAV available



What's average

I'm saying wav Hackneys can only buy wav's meaning we cannot buy a saloon..... savvy?

now considering that this is a Equality Act, it would seem that what it is actually doing is creating a unfair advantage regarding the prices that can be charged between the hackney and private hire trade.... it is certainly discriminating against the disabled by placing the private hire outside of this Act..... I wonder how much this cost to achieve...
