Hello from the RMT London Taxi Branch and all our members at Heathrow Airport we at the RMT are the most democratic union you'll find here in the United Kingdom.
We believe in giving you a Voice and Vote and my god doesn't this trade need a dose of democracy. Now back on the main blog the last post dealt with an issue regarding the misuse of the word TAXI and we are pleased to hear via the Director of Taxis and Private Hire that this will be changing and BAA will be altering their websites.
We shall wait and see now all we need is for a certain private hire company to understand they are not TAXIS and obey the signage on the M4 Bus lane. Please note members of the RMT London Taxi Branch will be attending a meeting with senior civil servants regarding this matter/issue.
Heathrow Airport is a unique place and if taxi-cab drivers didn't understand the importance of the feeder park/ranks well the recent volcanic activity showed how fragile the London taxi trade is at this moment. Fact is we need each other and we need to work alongside each other if we are to solve the many issues/problems we all face whether we work in town or Heathrow.
Join the only union/organisation that will give you a Voice and Vote, join the RMT at http://www.rmt.org.uk/ or email a request with your details to Londontaxi@rmt.org.uk .
