Jeremy Corbyn's speech to the Co-Op party (the one the United Cabbies Group [UCG] have alined themselves with) ahead of the Young Labour Policy Conference.
"Labour is thinking radically about how we can use the power of new technology in the coming decades to make our economy work for us all.
"Technology of the digital age should empower us as workers and consumers, allowing us to cooperate in a way that wasn’t possible in the past.
"Imagine an Uber run co-operatively by their drivers, collectively controlling their future, with profits shared or re-invested."
And again! No mention of the high number of rapes and sexual assaults from this company who enabled it's drivers to work with fake DBS criminal record check certificates!!!
Jeremy, we've all ready got that....a collective of professional highly regulated drivers non dependent on foreign multi billion dollar slave drivers, controlling their own future in line with government legislation and local regulation....it's called the Hackney Black Cab Taxi industry!!!
Jeremy, imagine a London devoid of the traditional Black cabs...25,000 full tax paying drivers put out of work by a foreign Non-dom tax avoiding company who uses slave labour, most drawing state benefits, many with fakes criminal record checks on its drivers, fakes medicals, allows the hacking of customers accounts, spies on its customers and doesn't report complaints of sex attacks by its drivers on customers to the police???
Is this the future Labour wants for the UK Jeremy?
Taxi Leaks Extra Bit :
London also has one of the largest and most comprehensive bus networks in the world, with 9000 buses running on 700 bus routes, as well as 20 tube lines providing a 24hour service at weekends and around 100,000 non-Uber Minicabs and Taxis.
Even if Uber are not relicensed, no one will find themselves stranded in London.
If TFL capitulates to public and political pressure based on the arguments being made, that they have 3.5 million users, it could set a very troubling precedent.
If a company can get away with illegal and unethical behaviour simply because it has a lot of customers, it would send out the message that the richest corporations are above the law in London.
Let's get one thing straight....uber drivers are self-employed as Minicab drivers!
If uber lose their operators licence, the drivers still remain self-employed Minicab drivers....they haven't lost their licenses.
They can work as self-employed Minicab drivers for anyone of the other 2,500 fit and proper TfL licensed operators in the capital.
