Hi All,
Some interesting and some witty posts. I agree that of course some Unions provide representation for member drivers and that's great. However, we have a busy department dealing with all manner of PH and Hackney issues. Somme of these drivers either are not member of such organisations and some are. The point is, represented by the Union lawyer or not, we need to have more access to legal advice and representation by those who are competent in this area of law (which can be tricky to navigate) For many years now I have many local authorities give hard working drivers a bad deal for no good reason.
As to fees, we feel our fees are sensible and appropriate. We are happy to quote on a case by case basis. However, I think the question is, what is your livlihood worth to you? Union lawyer or not, Get represented and be heard!! We have helped many many drivers who now possibly would not be on the road and look forward to helping many others.
