Thank you all for some of the kind words expressed here with regards to AddileeTda.

We know very well a lots of Taxi drivers have reservations for Addison Lee, but as drivers we are on parallel roads, We also acknowledge that the London taxi drivers are known to provide the best services in the world, And completing the knowledge is in its own right a high achievement.

The drivers who started AddileeTda done so with one intention, to act as a collective voice for Self-Employed Private Hire AddiLee drivers, we do not advocate anything for and on behalf of AddiLee Management, our main objective and goals are the welfare of Drivers.

We do not have the resource nor the manpower to be anything like LTDA, and its very unfair to even compare us to main stream organisation, We are just a small organisation trying to get a better deal for AddiLee drivers, and because this organisation was started by drivers who are working for AddiLee its been very difficult for us to get organised.

We look forward for everyone's support.

You could try to get the drivers employed, as a self employed driver cannot be sacked

Skippy has it ever occurred to that these drivers may not wish to be employed and quite like the freedom self employment allows them?

This months Private Hire and Courier Magazine carries a stark warning from the GMBPDB to Drivers NOT to disclose personal information to un identifiable organisations such as this because they believe Proprietors are behind some of them and will use the information to VICTIMISE drivers.

Must say I entirely agree!! until the People behind this Association identify themselves with an address telephone number and ID's of those behind I would keep well clear.

There is a specific Union for PH Drivers should they wish to contact them.

GMB Professional Drivers Branch 152 Brent Street Hendon NW42DP 0208 202 8272 or 07958 275 339 Terence Flanagan is the Branch sec

If I was a big company like AL I would want as much clout with the powers that be as I could muster. Direct and indirect. Money doesn't always get you your way.

What better avenue than to get the drivers on your firm to organise a drivers association, and get that new association to also lobby the powers that be.

The first thing I would do is get a nice looking website up, the last thing I would do is get a sales@ addy. ](*,)

Griffin will have his IT experts tracking down the owner immediately for extermination purposes!

Their drivers had the opportunity to get together and join a trade union, but they shyed away in case it upset old Griffin.

And they wonder why they work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and pay a fortune for their minicabs? #-o

No telling some, hence the massive change in 'staff' every few months.


EXACTLY RIGHT GBC

THERES A SURPRISE ABSOLUTE SILENCE

i have been informed you can join anonymously, that might make elections difficult and how do you have meetings to decide policy if your all unidentifiable, or are those collecting the money going to decide policy without recourse to the membership, might just join my self or perhaps i have ?? or even JG himself ??

Some need to remember workers organisations need to be democratic the GMBPDB meets regularly [members only] I am informed and its the members that decide policy reckon youve a lot of work to do Sales@addileetda.com
