It takes time for things to get through thick skulls, being when the sh*t does hit the fan, fools realise too late.... Then it becomes a case in point.
"Can I join the Union now I'm in the sh*t?" :roll: :roll: :-|

In my experience Unions need numbers in areas to be effective - what the thinker has written concurs with what I've heard - as an individual in an area as a union member they are not interested - they told one friend to go out recruit some more members and become a branch - 25 to 50 should do it.

Of course, we could all recruit 50 people when the sh*t hits the fan in an area - but keeping hold of them when things are fine and dandy?? Well that's another story.


Your right Capt the gormless burkes have never learnt the lesson "get your retaliation in first" which is why their bottom of the league :D

WRONG AS USUAL SUSSEX THE ADVICE SHOULD BE.

How many union officials do you know that have a better understanding of taxi law than the good people on here?

If people wish to join a union then good on them, but not all people do.


Knowledge of the Law is one thing BUT HOW TO UTILISE THAT KNOWLEDGE IN AN INDUSTRIAL AND POLITICAL SITUATION IS WHERE THE UNIONS COME IN AND IS I SUSPECT WHY YOU JOINED ONE.

AS FOR THOSE THAT DONT WISH TO JOIN "MORE FULL THEM" :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

Our LA/LO are far more respectful towards us since a few here joined the GMB dedicated professional drivers section which includes both HC and PH. Any one doing this kind of work will need some kind of legal protection at some time in their lives, it's inevitable..... An unprotected fool is a fool indeed. Lets face it, there are more fools in this trade than in most it seems, that is pretty much evident with the mess we find many in and why the LC are now involved.... :roll: :roll: :roll: #-o #-o #-o :-|


And here we have the voice of experience some- one who has shown the intelligence and foresight to join the GMB with he says good results, and with respect I dont have Comrade Towag down as a left winger :D :D

:wink:

Do the authority have any guidelines on this, in York to start another organisation you have to have a certain percentage of drivers before they will listen to you

The law on consultation doesn't have any caveats as to how many people share a similar view.

If a group of drivers have a viewpoint, they are legally entitled to express it.


Thats correct but as towag points out some groups carry more clout than others and particularly more than some 2 bob collection of amateurs now matter how well intentioned!! As you well know and have yourself utilised, Politicans are always respectful of Union organisation and the trouble we can give them :D :D :D
