Last week Ken Livingstone announced equality for PHV with Hacks on red routes in the capital,up to now PHV have been receiving PCNs for setting down and picking up on red routes!!!! The new arrangments will commence this summer, This was achieved by all sections of the industry working together.A lesson for all????????????

ORGANISE EDUCATE AGITATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but what have you achieved out of London GMB BRANCH SECRETARY PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS BRANCH......??????????????????????????

Does this include Out-of-town PHVs or only London PCO PHVs?

Allo Allo only London Licensed PHVs.

Outside London all our fringe benefits apply, on other issues read our reports on Brighton Gateshead etc,

In the Chauffeur industry what we achieve will run nationwide, WTR regs etc

Deal finalised today, commencement 6 7 07 so GBC you parasite wrong again, oh and by the  way SIGNAGE agreed as usual wrong again, next bus Lanes and quickie knowledge,

OUR DAY WILL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what can you do about bus lanes outside of london

Keep PH out of them?

and the touts....

......lol  touche mon cherie thermidor

Bus lanes outside of London if our MEMBERS in any area want access we will of course take the issue up with the relevant authorities and of course if necessary use either our Poklitical clout or Industrial muscle! accompanied by our svelte like negotatiating skills.

Where are you whose the authority, where di i send the membership forms????

DECISIONS ARE TAKEN BY THOSE THAT JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but surely your knowledge is only of the london mini cab trade

surely it should say decisions are made by those that turn up...?

why is it i can travel from own licensing area i just moved to 3 months ago but i dont work in as i work still in the area i just moved from and where i live now you can use the bus lanes but the area i work in where i used to live i cant

Surely your confusing knowledge with knowledge

but which one does a union or a trade rep need...?

So basically we have a situation where only London licensed vehicles can use red routes.......non London vehicles have to be stuck in the traffic jams.

Thank you GMB

Thermidor you so brilliantly indentify the need for National driver representation, Red Route access for Licensed vehicles from outside London, why not, but who will negotiate it for you?????????? The NTA the NPH the LPHCA? Theyve had many years to do it but have not, why perhaps because your in a traffic jam and they dont care why would they? Would we, well who knows, for sure if our members wanted it, complicated for you? it appears so! Not for our members who attend meetings B Lucky!!

DECISIONS ARE TAKEN BY THE MEMBERS THAT TURN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOUGHT IT WOULD OF BEEN OBVIOUS THAT WHILE SORTING OUT THE RED ROUTES FOR LONDON DRIVERS IT WOULD OF BEEN MORE COST EFFECTIVE AND A POLITICAL COUP TO GET OUTSIDE LONDON DRIVERS ACCESS TOO AT THE SAME TIME  NOT SCIENTIFIC REALLY IS IT

If you aint in why would i spend one penny on your needs, and would my members allow it, of course not. we work for our members no-one else. If your not a member TOUGH!!

AGITATE AGITATE AGITATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really are a pillock.

Are you suggesting the red routes are for GMB members only?

Of course you aren't, anything you do that affects the PH trade in London affects the whole PH trade.

Just like local associations who get fare increases......both non member and member alike benefit.
