The Leader of the Council led the questioning and apparently he was not happy that the Committee had not been in possession of all the facts when making their decision to increase our fees by 25% in June.

I wonder who briefed him. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

All the Councillors were sent an email from the drivers association rep. This email was also sent to the Chief Exec, who just happened to been in attendance at the meeting as well. :wink:

The other important factor was having the drivers involved. just their presence at the meeting last night helped. It showed the Councillors that there are people behind the association and not just names.

I have a saying..what do you get when you educate a idiot..answer ..an educated Idiot....what we would get ..if...You were to be educated I really don't know.....possibly...a educated dinosaur... Grandad and his colleagues have achieved their win by learning the system and in a civilised manner using it against them....that is not what you advocate...

You insult the intellligence of a lot of the members on here.who have for many,many years worked with their councils and have had taxi drivers as councillors or have a solid working partnership with them....The bullying unions are a thing of the past or soon will be..

For some reason ..when I read your posts...I get a mental picture of you..The zombie tied to the tree..legs gone.just the chest and head left..and the head keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and ooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Mr T the real reason you hate Unions is because they will stop YOUR exploiting practices #-o Bullying ha ha workers power sunshine =D>

Personal insults from your ilk are of course of no consequence and to be expected, i am unaware of MEMBERS on here having the relationship with Councils you allege above :D as is evidently Grandad :badgrin: :badgrin:

I only advocate GET involveld be active put Unionised Drivers on the Council as Councillors :D

Given the Labour majority's on many councils Manchester for one Unionised Drivers Councillors would pushing at an open door ............and why not MrT????????????????????

If you wish to swap insults you will of course be beaten in that arena try it :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

No. Neither of you have. You just seem to be winding each other up. As we know, that is the game that TT likes to play.
