Oh, oh, what have you gone and done now
The problem with the cab trade is that people are used to working on their own, as such there is no safety in numbers as say in a factory whereby you can look eye to eye with your workmate...... and know as to whether you are all for one & one for all so to speak. Then you also have to overcome the "lack of trust" factor i.e no bugger trusts one another. I see it as a nasty wheel going round and round with no real end.......if only they realised the power that they potentially have

. This country could come to a stop overnight......that is the power that they have - too many loose cannons I am afraid.
what have i done google Keith Henderson v GMB i supported this guy and was expelled its no secret

MPs are supporting Keith and theres a 3 day hearing in london 10th 11 12 Feb where i expect the GMB to get their arse kicked thoroughly also go the LRC website for details of demo on those days at the Court

Labour representation Committee lead by John McDonnell MP.and of course a run down of the case where the GMB it appears dismissed an officer for his " beliefes in left wing democratic socialism" thereby creating case law, which as you can imagine is truly historic! By the way this event involveld Ed Miliband and a picket line in the House of Commons ..........................their all crapping themselves
Your analysis is correct they the Cab Drivers underestimate their value to society frequently the 4 th emergency service and a vital link in the Transport infrastructure, which gives them immense power in any industrial situation given they stick together ......................which of course they seem incapable of doing hence their position in the earnings league

They do not need to be working in factory to organise successfully contacting each other its organised in other industry's "BUS DRIVERS" Tube Drivers where contact is minimal !
And yes they do have the numbers to stop the country and in an industry where convicted pervs are covering SCHOOL RUNS OAP Contracts Children in care contracts plenty of ammo to get public sympathy ...............................WHICH YOU WILL NOTE GRANDAD CONTINUALLY REFUSES TO ADDRESS IN HIS LITTLE TORY BUBBLE

go to thread where child suffering from autism was thrown out of cab by a licensed Driver
