A bitter row has broken out between four Czech taxi drivers and a Plymouth firm over a £3,500 recruitment repayment demand. Taxifast told the men they must pay back the cost of flights, accommodation and training if they wanted to continue with the company.
The four self-employed drivers refused and left, saying there was no written agreement to repay recruitment costs.
Two of them told the Herald they were 'disgusted' at Taxifast's treatment of them.
But Taxifast chairman John Preece said there was a 'verbal contract' with the men to recoup costs.
He branded them as 'greedy', saying that one Czech made over £2,500 in 13 days as a Taxifast driver.
192 pounds a day, they must be hard workers these guys. That kind of money is out of my league I'm afraid. I prefer to put more effort into enjoying a better quality of life, rather than having to work all the hours god sends. I suppose when you get to my age most people see life that way lol.
