Taxi Driver Online

Did you just make all that up all on your own!!!!

I can provide a reading list if you wish to awake from your slumber.

Agreed. These guys see it as the thin edge of the wedge.
And they may well be right.

Why should we pay 3p +VAT extra, while those who earn the most get a 5p tax cut?

Ahem.....

You Cybernats dont half Talk a lot of Sh*te.........

Some on here are sounding just like out and out Conservatives!!

Why shouldn't these guys be on the money that they are, as I am sure that the company that they work for are also making masses of money.

For years, companies up and down the land have been making not just profit, but VULGAR profit. What do we see off of the backs of all of that................Wage reductions/restraint/minimum wage/ and people generally struggling, all except the wealthy bosses.

To my way of thinking is that we need from time to time the conflict of the 1970s (I do not belong to a Trade Union) - Unions not under the thumb of governments, but Unions who can and will fight for the living standards of their members. Sadly too many unions have been bought off by successive governments who keep them sweet with large grants.

Imagine the situation whereby the work force up and down the U.K received wages that were decent.....................WE would also get a decent living - Or have you forgotten that their low wage - is also our LOW wage. I would say, do not be jealous - encourage! because if you do not - a rickshaw awaits you all.

Thatcherite arsewipe like you should be careful who they accuse of talking sh1te.
Particularly in view of your previous statement.
Thatcher never was one for niceties like the law...unless she wrote it, of course.

The Unions,ll just feck things up as per Normal...£45K a year their drivers get and your advocating they strike for more whilst you and yours go without due to a bloody Fuel shortage....These guys are so far out front in the Pay Stakes its like a Ferrari over Taking a reliant Robin..

Thats one [edited by admin] poor pro union argument im afraid..Especially from someone who's livelyhood is so tightly bound to the ability to source fuel for their Vehicle.

Every day a little more Tetchier.....

Me thinks the Nasties are getting worried...

Not worried britnock, just disgusted.
The vast majority of Scots still get the urge to spit when they hear Thatcher's name.

Keep spouting your Thatcherite sh1te.
It worries nobody and just reminds us all why tory MPs are rarer than pandas in Scotland.
And you think you speak for the majority.
The majority would rather eat a sh1te sandwich than vote Tory.

You need to wise up! You/me are getting poorer and poorer - the rich/poor gap is bigger...................and that supposedly is because we are doing it the right way!!!!! - I do not think so.

They may be driving a Ferrari and the best of luck to them, but if you are driving a robin reliant - then that is only because of "Del boy" thinking.

The 300 Army drivers will just be there to replenish emergency stocks, 300 versus 2000 doesn't add up does it? What's betting they'll be using the army's trucks to deliver this fuel? With the speed they go it'll take them a week to get from Immingham to Nottingham and back again.

Ok lets look at it the simple way shall we?

Over the last year or so 90% of the fuel tanker fleet has been taken over by Wincanton Distribution, garages like TOTAL, ESSO, JET, TEXACO all use Wincanton, TOTAL have been known to use Turners from Soham as a back up.

When the drivers were transfered over to Wincanton they went with the T.U.P.E agreement, this agreement protects the workers wages, holidays, sick pay, health insurance etc etc.

Wincanton are well known to detest the T.U.P.E agreement which like I mentioned above protects the employees rights and benefits.

If you were in a PAYE job and earning £40K a year with benefits like sick pay, health insurance, decent holidays and all of a sudden some halfwhit company came along and tried to get round the T.U.P.E agreement and start cutting away at your benefits which you've trained hard for you'd be pretty pissed off like the Tanker drivers are.

It's not all about wages, it's about Wincanton cutting not only the tanker drivers benefits but that of many other Wincanton drivers in food destribution depots across the UK.

If your that pissed off with the tanker drivers training hard and going on courses to transport hazardous chemicals to the forecourts of the petrol stations why don't you go out there and get your class one LGV then apply to go on the hazardous chemicals course? The price of the above will be around the £12K mark, that's if you make it past your LGV class 2 which you've got to pass before you even think about driving a class 1.

If you train hard and have ambitions the richer and poorer gap doesn't even come into the equation. If you knew what a Tanker driver has to pass to enable him to transport fuel you'll be tipping your hat to them at every opportunity.
