Indeed. I've mentioned before that the only income a firm has is from its drivers rents. We pay THEM and THEY tell US what to do. Our rents cover the firms wages, advertising, equipment and buildings cost, so who's the employer and employee ?

Unless it's my firm that say anyone caught doing a job that has not gone through the office will be removed from the fleet.

If your firm is so bad, why are you still doing work for them?

So LA's are employers as well ?! (they dictate the amount charged and say which route to take - the shortest)

@Trotsky's Twin ---
You seem to be suggesting that the worker rights challenge fronted by Uber drivers might cause the GMB branch Secretary's own business some grief. So what? I think its a sign of integrity, in clearly setting aside a potential personal cost, to represent worker member needs. And it his responsibility to do so. If he were not prepared to do so you might have grounds to complain.

Also, I'm confused why you are looking to undermine the case by inviting the Uber corporations to investigate the Branch Sec? Even if there was something to find here, what would the cost of that be to the workers trying to secure their rights?

Also you rightly acknowledge that a win would be good for workers throughout the whole PH trade. I agree, it would potentially shape a much better model of worker / employment engagement than drivers currently have. Why then would you suggest drivers seek an earlier private settlement with Uber?. Surely we need this case to be heard as a test case for all ?

There maybe other agendas here but we need to do what is right for drivers and leave other issues aside.

Im confused.

Why do you have to work for a bad firm. Get your own operators license and start your own. If you do it better than the others then you will earn more money and get yourself a good, reputable business.

As am I.

The GMB are taking on an operator to try and get drivers better working conditions, and that is a very good thing.

However they are taking on the wrong company, maybe to get a few headlines.

Uber allow drivers to have as many apps on their vehicles as they like, there are no 'you must only do work from us' rules.

If the GMB were really interested in getting drivers better working conditions, they should take on Addison Lee.

Your confused #-o clearly yer thick as well

A Branch sec HAS to follow the directions of his Branch or RESIGN hardly rocket science is it #-o

As for investigating his activities #-o #-o why not if he's whiter than white what has he to fear ?

If however he isnt :badgrin: :badgrin: the resulting publicity will be of great use to the Branch for in dumping him they will destroy completely the belief that he is or could be using his position for personal gain ..............all publicity is good publicity =D>


Your puerile belief that a legal case will establish for workers their rights is just stupid the Law in this Country will rarely assist workers and definitely not in this case!

Any Branch Sec of any credibility would be proposing INDUSTRIAL action AGAINST EXPLOITERS SOMETHING THAT MIGHT PROVE DIFFICULT FOR AN EXPLOITER ITSELF !
The best target for any industrial or legal action is of course as has been pointed out Addy Lee :D or maybe a two bob outfit near Ruislip which operates outside the Working Time Directive in RESIDENTIAL premises without planning permission and in breach of all employment legislation regarding Self Employed Workers, Workers under the direction of the company or indeed PAYE regs evidently {take a look UBER :wink: ]

Your final point a separate deal with UBER ........surely its fekking obvious virtually all PH companys in London are despicable outfits they cheat and swindle their Drivers exploit them illegally and in general regard their staff as excretia ! So surely its obvious stoke up the battle between the established scum outfits and Uber by negotiating with Uber to your memberships advantage its called [DIVIDE AND RULE] any Trade Unionist with half a brain would have spotted this and got in their lively ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,evidently theres a shortage of such officers within the GMBPDB #-o

Please don't quote a post that is already a mess.

A nightmare to follow.

Just start a new post.
