BANK JUNCTION UPDATE : City of London Announces Peace Talks

For five days, the passionate driver led coalition of the Independent Taxi Alliance (ITA), with little or no support from the leadership of our largest org, led the police around the City on a cat and mouse game. 

They said the drivers couldn't win anything, but  they were wrong. 

You'll never win they said!

What's the point in fighting ?

What's the point in demos, they never win anything?

We all remember what the late great Bob crow used to say:

"If you fight, I can't promise you will win, but if you don't fight, I promise you this, you will always lose". 

Yesterday afternoon, at the completion of the first weeks demonstrations, Bob Crow's Union, the RMT, put out this statement:

 BANK JUNCTION UPDATE

RMT have pursued dialogue with City of London regarding the ongoing dispute over Bank Junction.

The branch has successfully managed to secure a meeting with the corporation.

Details to follow.

In solidarity

Lewis Norton

Branch Secretary. 

This is not the ultimate victory. It's not a definite win... NOT YET. 

 

Without the fight, the standing shoulder to shoulder, the turning up day after day.... we had no chance. 

But now we have that chance, and it's all thanks to you who cared, you who believed, you who attended. 

Just remember this, its never be about just wining a race, it's about competing in and finishing the race.

If your not on the starting blocks, if you don't compete, it's impossible to win.  

It's not what's in your pocket today that matters, but what's in your heart for the future.

 

Its not all about me, it's not all about you,  it's about us and our future, a future together. 

That's what it's all been about. 

And now, we're in the race, we have a chance.
