Members of the RMT Heathrow airport sub committee will be meeting on Friday the 14th of May 2010 to discuss many issues including the continued abuse/law breaking of the M4 bus lane by a certain private hire company.
Many issues affect the London taxi-cab driver but the recent closure of UK airspace displayed how fragile the economy is at this present moment in time. With over 1000 extra taxi-cab drivers heading into London to seek work the ranks soon over spilled and the trade went straight back into a micro recession.
The London taxi trade needs the rank and work provided by the worlds busiest airport.

ReplyDeleteyes , UNite cab section does.but due to this being rmt blog ...this wont be put on
ReplyDeleteWell it seems we have an answer to the question posed by the member from the union Unite.
ReplyDeleteYes you are correct this is an RMT blogsite and nothing to do with Unite. However can we thank you for taking an interest and reading this blog.
Glad to hear to hold meetings.
Miss Dianne.
Where is the Unite taxi blog?
ReplyDeleteDo they hold branch meetings for their Heathrow branch members?
I was a Unite (T&G) member for years, but never felt they had any "fire in the belly", so I left. The RMT definately does have "fire in the belly", and finally, I feel we have an organisation that is willing to fight the issues rather than duck them.
