RMT Invite Trade to Unite...

Below is a letter sent to every Taxi trade organisation and Union who purport to represent the interests of Taxi drivers in London. 
With the impending Law commissions report set to radicalise and simplify the Hackney carriage laws not just for London but the UK as a whole, it's crucial all those invited should attend this very important meeting. See video below!

We have been seen to put our house in order and now its time to unite and tackle the true enemies of our trade, namely the over issue of PH driver licenses (currently 105,000*), Satellite office expansion, illegal plying for hire- touting by licensed private hire drivers and the disappearance of large number of Taxi rank spaces all over the capital. 

The Anderson Shelter applauds the RMT London Taxi branch, for organising a meeting which is so important for the future of our trade.

Only one third of the trade belong to a recognised representative body. If you want to save your trade and safe guard your livelihood, we would suggest you look at the two unions and three organisations that are there to protect your working practises carefully and join one as soon as possible.

Please watch all of this video when you get the chance. The first 10 minutes is just a bit of fluffing but the last 17 minutes should open the eyes of a few unbelievers.

  1. The Video is of a person talking using long words . The Taxi Industry should not Allow Changes that Destroy our Industry.

    Solicitors Do Nothing . They Achieve Nothing . They are their to make money for themselves . Rupert Bear knows more and he is a cartoon character .

    The trade needs to talk NOW, the RMT's offer is open and without any 'strings', only a fool or a TFL toady will refuse to attend.

    Everything to gain and nothing to lose!

  4. If you want to see the Licensed Taxi trade continue then come to the table this Law Commission will if we are not united be the end of our trade we must stand together like never before draw a line under the past and work together for our future.
    It has already been said. "Men are coming to kill us"
