In a letter to the Prime Minister of France yesterday, French Taxi unions issued an ultimatum:
"Meet us now and cooperate - or prepare for blockages of airports, train stations, ring roads everywhere in France"
Notice that it’s signed by all five presidents of the French Taxi Unions.
Below is an email gained by FOI request, showing our largest orgs relationship with our Mayor and regulating body.
It appears that TfL employees, are writing back slapping scripts for LTDA, to be used as comments on press releases.
Many emails have surfaced through FOI requests between TfL and certain Taxi trade and Private Hire companies/groups in the past.
Many of these emails have been publicised in trade publications. Some, even showing collusion between certain representative trade groups officials and our very own trade regulators.
But, yesterday’s expose’(I believe) is the most damning and scandalous I’ve seen in all my 45+ years in the London Taxi Trade.
Well, well...TfLTPH writing suggestive script for the General Secretary of our largest representative trade org to use as a press release, you couldn't make it up!!!
Questions that demand answers:
- How many more press releases have TfL scripted for the LTDA?
- Was the LTDA’s wait and see policy for the Bank Junction fiasco scripted by Helen Chapman, Dan Maskell or even Mike “on side” Brown?
- Was the LTDA’s decision not to protest over Tooley Street and Tottenham Court Road also scripted by TfL Staff?
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT :
Branch elections cancelled on trumped up charges?
Branches closed down leaving just one that green badges can’t attend!
Multiple members expelled for speaking out against the old guard!
The members of our largest representative group, should waist no more time and demand an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to form a committee who will look after the best interests of the trade they are elected to represent.
