Update on the PHV consultation...

All members and Taxi-cab drivers should note that the RMT London Taxi branch is included in ALL consultations regarding matters that affect you the self employed London Taxi-cab driver. This was recently confirmed by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson.

At present the issue of satellite/sub offices of mini-cab operators is causing much trouble within the London Taxi trade and the RMT London Taxi branch has formed a sub-committee which has recently met on two occasions to formulate our response to the phv consultation paper. Sean Kellett our excellent Ranks and Highways representative is chairing/leading our sub-committee and members can be assured that our response will be both robust and technically sound.

ALL members should note that the RMT is engaging with TFL/TPH on this most important issue for it has major ramifications for the Taxi trade and our "hard earned right" to "ply for hire".

Join the RMT London taxi branch online at www.rmt.org.uk and pop along to our next branch meeting on the 1st of December 2010...
