Will You Carry On Fighting For Cab Drivers Who Won't Fight For Themselves?

The State Of Our Trade.

The LTDA have decided to break ranks from the rest of the trades representative orgs to launch unilateral action.

Without talking to or asking help from others, the LTDA have decided to go it alone and lobby MPs on Tuesday 8th March. Emails were sent out yesterday to all their members.

Just when we thought the orgs and unions were all singing from the same sheet, the newly built house of cards seems to have collapsed. 

At a time when drivers should be signing up with trade orgs in a massive united fight back, many feel this trade is allowing itself to be lead down the toilet by clueless individuals. 

GLA report was a waste of time.

RMT early day motion felt flat.

Mass demos failed to achieve.

And now our orgs now expecting drivers to give up two mornings work next week.

Are they really expecting this, from the same drivers who wouldn't pledge just £23 each to #ActiondforCabbies

We had a homeless beggar in tears at the thought of losing this trade, putting his last 50p in the hat to help in the fight to save the taxi trade.

While our multinational vehicle maker, insurance companies and many other third party businesses who make their living off the backs of Taxi drivers, refuse to pledge a penny. 

But can you blame them when over 85% of the drivers won't pledge.

A fragmented trade like this, has no hope.

#ActionForCabbies Update: 

10 days left and still £352,000 short.

To be honest if 85% drivers can't pledge just £23 each to save their livelihood, then perhaps the trade ain't worth saving.

The old excuse that not all drivers are online doesn't wash anymore. 

The girls from #SaveTaxi have been out every day in all weathers, on stations, cab shelters, the airport plus it's been in all trade media no excuse!
