RMT Taxi Branch Welcomes TfL Injunction On Addison Lee
The RMT London Taxi branch 0930 notes the injunction from the High Court forbidding Mr John Griffin of Addison Lee instructing his drivers from using the Bus Lanes.
TfL are commended for their swift response to this matter. We hope this is the start of an ongoing campaign to enforce the law regarding the plague of touting and illegal plying for hire that endangers the travelling public.
The RMT will continue to investigate the working practices of this company, the employment status of the drivers who we believe are employees under UK Law and bring such information to the relevant authorities for enforcement action.
We also note the donations made by Mr Griffin to the Conservative Party and the meetings with the Transport Minister. Again the RMT will probe any decisions made by the government that gives any favourable and biased treatment.
The RMT restates its absolute commitment to protect and promote the worlds No. 1 Cab Trade, To defend the right to ply for hire and fight with all means at its disposal to prevent a 'race to the bottom'.
