Taxi Driver Online

Since Maggie kcufed them, the unions have had to take money from where ever they can!



And they've amalgamated since those times because of lack of members and formed large unions from the dregs of what was left and now you have Unite the Bunion and the like.

2 jobs your a worker ie you drive therefore a Union is appropriate for you it will assist in many ways.

Helping establish appropriate licensing regimes through the Unions political input [many councillors will be sponsored supported by a Union]
Dealings with your LA disciplines etc
Supplying sick pay schemes
Car vehicle purchase schemes [ cheaper than any other source]
Cheap PH Hack Insurance
Free 24 legal advice and representation/ for you and your immediate family on any issue.
assist you in determining whether you are actually self employed, many arei n fact "Workers under the direction of the Company" which allows you to handle your own tax affairs but gives certain employment rights. Paid hols, disciplinary procedures, negotiations on every aspect of your working enviroment, working time regs, Health and safety etc.
cheap holiday deals home insurance miles of fringe benefits.

But the point is you as a worker can have immediate access to advice and assistance for your working enviroment, and of course by joining togetherstart to stamp out the malicious dishonest crooks so prvlevant in the Industry, cab drivers work more hours for less money in VERY dangerous circumstances than any other workers PURELY because they refuse to stick together ie get UNIONISED

YOU WOULD BE MADE WELCOME IN MANY UNIONS YOU MIGHT CARE TO CONSIDER THE GMB WHICH HAS MANY PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS BRANCH'S http://www.gmb.org.uk [/quote]

For 136 quid a year it has to be a good deal. Plus you can put it against tax!! Quite a few here have joined over the last few years and it has paid off!! Our LA treat us with far more respect than they used to, believe it!! I'm not that union minded, but joined out of exasperation of a complaint made against me that wasn't true. The GMB Solicitor/Lawyer made mincemeat out of them and from what I've heard saved another cabbie from having his licensed revoked. Worth thinking about.....

yeah, i got faries down the bottom of my garden too.

Yes Tel, but I very much doubt any in the GMB are as good as me

Although, as I have said in the past, the taxi trade needs organised, and if the GMB can step up to the plate and do a good job, you have my support......sadly it wont be financial

Also known as a rickshaw puller!

Have you? Would you care to photograph them and show us all. I'd bet CC is a saloon driver and hates unions......

I'd bet CC has had more FX4D's, FX4R's, FX4S's, FX4S Plus's, Fairways, Fairway Drivers, TX1's, TX2's & TX4's over the years than most - I'd also suggest he has a deep respect for those in unions that give a t*ss about their members and shares the odd pint with some - but is aware that people get promoted on a bizarre basis where knowledge is a secondary requirement after shouting.
