What's going on with 'Free Now' ? Up and running a few weeks now and No Bobo ?
Hailo gave us Bobo !
MyTaxi gave us a lorra, lorra Bobo !
The Saturday night special, do 20 jobs in 12 hours (5pm to 5am) fer a Ton Bobo, most of us had it covered by midnight !
But with 'Free Now' No Bobo, not even a gift card fer rebranding Ambassadors where MyTaxi used to pay the driver a Ton to brand a car.

John can you find out who they're charging 15% to in the UK?There's at least 5 apps on the go over there.The hacks usually pay more than us because they are unable to work the streets.

The insurance/mortgage companies wont allow us to die off so easily, it would cost them a fortune.
I'm sure they will invent some pill for us to live past 100 and then your policies will become null and void.

But with 'Free Now' No Bobo, not even a gift card fer rebranding Ambassadors where MyTaxi used to pay the driver a Ton to brand a car.
I take that back, I just got my 'Fee Now' appointment fer rebranding and they do give you a Circle K 100Euro fuel voucher.
But ya gotta call to their HQ after to show your stickered car to get the voucher, More Donut's maybe ?

Are ya serious ?? A lousy 100 fuel voucher ? I would have thought you should get at least 1000 a year for putting all that shite on your car

We do get all that and much more in preferential work, even when/if I ever get me brand new Joe, I will have it branded ASAP.
Why would I want to be looking at all the other plebs sitting on ranks or driving about empty while there is plenty of work available with the PUC which negates the commission.
By night or at weekends when I normally work a 2KM job can be covered in just a few minutes, no way in Cork would you get a rank job or a street hail in 3 or 4 minutes. I have no problem paying the commission as long as I'm getting the PUC. Bed Logo's are a No No !

I think it was 6 fer a Tenner the last time I brought them in, but there was only One fella on, so meself and me Chungwan scoffed most of 'em, Fookin gorgeous they were !
Would ya be short of a Tenner to say Thanks to the staff fer providing us with work 24/7/365 ?

To be fair, someone said they've increased commission to 15% in London where they get no free advertising from drivers... so the FN ambassadors might be saving the rest of us a few notes. They could easily increase commission to 40% here. Lads who were paying Irish dispatch firms c.€80/week for more (lucrative) work during the last boom are already paying Free Now in excess of €300 and are happy to do so.

You take time off at your own expense to let them vandalise your car then you have to take more time off to go to them to show them your defaced car and some pricks even bring donuts?

If the commission went to 25% plenty of turkeys still willing to give it to them.
If the network went down on a Saturday night they would go home cos they now can’t work without it.

I read the new 'Free Now' T&C's in full, "As an Ambassador, you must provide Free Now with 3 monthly date stamped photos of your vehicle".
How true or how they intend to enforce this I have no idea, most likely if they get a complaint then they have this clause to fall back on, most likely it will not affect the normal Joe's like myself. Why bother signing up as an Ambassador and then take off the stickers and be banned from the system fer life ?
The 'Free Now' stickers don't bother me at all, actually I think they blend in well with my Front door Taxi decal's, my front and back car reg number plates, my Green Taxi Daisy/Suitability cert, my NCT disc, my Insurance disc, my Motor Tax disc, my Meter installer's sticker on the boot, my car buyers stickers on the back windscreen and the Reg plates, my personal Taxi I.D. on the dashboard and the Fare card/sticker displayed in the cab.
What possible difference could another few 'Free Now' stickers on the cab do ?

When I'm off duty I don't want a free advert for multinational company on me drive.They just look cluttered IMO.If I was getting a couple of grand a year I could live with them.

Yeah kinda agree with you on that, but why would they pay you to advertise when they know theres enough fucking idiots that will do it for free.

Easy on the "Heap of Shite" bit, she (08 D4D 2L Avensis) is listening outside and still doesen't know anything about my 'Trade-up' plan !
Gonna be a Sad day when I have to scrap/trade her in, we have been through our fair share of mischief, divilment, Bootlegging and all sorts throughout the last 10 years, Ice, Snow, Fog, Floods, nothing ever stopped her. She owes me nothing and if I can find a good Home fer her then I will let her go fer pittance rather than profit from a scrapage plan.

So you reckon it's a Free advert MFH, well fer starters they give you a 100 Euro fuel discount card, 8 cent off per liter of fuel, you can work out the annual savings there yourself, Half price car washes again you can work out that annual saving fer yourself, and more work than you could ever handle (with a time advantage fer Ambassadors) and all Full fare work and with the full PUC.
Granted all the Taxi philosopher's on here see 'Doom and Gloom' as is their job/god given right to do so, Germany, Brexit, This, That and the other, Doom and Gloom, all a load of Bollocks !
What works fer me at the moment is 'Free Now' !

Well said Ken , it's your life and your car , do as you like and whatever suits you.
-
Granted 'Free Now' will replace us all with autonomous vehicles in the future, and the NTA will have a WAV only policy in time.
The Irish government may well introduce an EV only policy. It's all on the cards, but it is still 20 or even 40 years down the line.
I intend to be long Dead by then, fer today whats works fer me in the short time is 'Free Now' !
-
I don't think Daimler/BMUU will be in any great hurry to replace us with autonomous vehicles. When you factor in the cost of servicing, maintaining and managing a fleet they may find it more cost effective to simply increase our freight to 40% and supplement the fleet with rideshare options as, where and when legislation permits.
-
I was working earlier couldn't respond Ken but any company would pay a small fortune to have their logos plastered on so many vehicles that are parked in prime locations all over the country.Advertising space is a valuable commodity and shouldn't be given away for free.The pittance that yis are getting shows how gullible yis are IMO.Happy and gullible.
-
And just to add the WAX museum up here has a truck with a billboard driving around the city promoting the place for the tourists.They're paying a truck driver at least a monkey a week plus the cost of running the truck to get advertising in prime locations.Thats about 40/50 grand a year to have a mobile billboard.Look how much free advertising Mytaxi/freenow are getting with all the ambassadors lining up to put stickers on.It's actually an impressive achievement.
-
As I said before and numerous posters did also.
It’s all mind games.
Priority/Gold/Ambassador
At the end of the day it’s the nearest car gets the job.
It’s all down to service.

I was very saddened the day I got me new car and I forgot to say goodbye to me octavia.... I just parked it and walked away eager to drive the new one..... Bit like wen yu run off wit a younger woman and divorce the owlone who nursed ya wen yu we'r sick and took care of ya for years......
I tink it was on that day that I realised I was a bit of a bastards

John can you find out who they're charging 15% to in the UK?There's at least 5 apps on the go over there.The hacks usually pay more than us because they are unable to work the streets.
Black cabs.
https://www.taxi-point.co.uk/single-post/2019/07/25/FREE-NOW-face-criticism-from-taxi-drivers-following-50-increase-on-commission-fees (https://www.taxi-point.co.uk/single-post/2019/07/25/FREE-NOW-face-criticism-from-taxi-drivers-following-50-increase-on-commission-fees)
Any possibility that there would be enough organised resistance if it went to 15% here? Even if 50% stopped working the app for a while it would hurt them.
-
Thanks Bob that's interesting.I think they have proper competition amongst the apps over there.I can't see it working out unless they're deliberately trying to alienate the black cab taxi drivers to go after Ubers minicab drivers.
I can easily go back to slumming it on the ranks but as I mentioned in other threads many drivers are unable to go without.They're risking a lot of they try it in Dublin.
-
Even if it went to 20% drivers will still use it.
They can’t work without it.
-
Hopefully the folks at Freenow remember what happened last time in Dublin when drivers got pissed off.As soon as a significant amount of drivers stop using the app the rest of the lads are driven nuts with multiple jobs from everywhere else and it fuks up their service.Resulting in even more switching it off.
-
Put it up to 25%

They don't care Merc... They have monopoly control of the market, brain dead obsequious sycophantic Stockholm syndromed doughnut giving slave force taking n it up thr gicker, and one of the richest multinationals in the world backing them with bottomless vaults of cash.....
Their whole exercise for doing it is to accumulate information,data, and to control the equally sheep like users of taxis for future......
Poking the little cnuts every now and then cud be research analysis or just boredom and contempt in the boardroom
-
Like I keep saying about ALL dispatchers,they are only as strong as the fleet who chose to allow themselves in this way.you pull the plug on ANY dispatcher,and where does that leave them ?
-
They were at this point before though..and still fukked up.Most lads were happy but all we wanted was the PUC.They resisted until lads got pissed off enough to stop picking up jobs off the app.Then it kinda snowballed until they had to concede.Wouldnt be that difficult to replicate the disruption.I've given up hope on some lads but there are enough moany cunts out here to make a difference.
-

It leaves them with One less driver and all the other drivers thinking "Good, One less".
And the fella that leaves now gets the oppurtunity to sit on a rank fer the rest of his life !
-
No that's not true Ken.In Dublin it only takes a small percentage acting the bollix to fuk them up.
Yis all know how annoying the app gets when it's busy.Ten percent of drivers not working it causes misery for the other 90%.After a couple of week there are even less working it out of frustration.
-
Some people remind me of the Dinosaur who laughed as he was told there was an asteroid coming. They control you....never the other way around. They've undoubtedly done their research on the typical profile of Driver-adactyl and Taxi-saurus....they know the innate inability to visualise incoming missiles is rife amongst these dying breeds.......the info is out there for all to read........when the Lower Deck was full at 10pm back in the "Good Old Days" the idiots sneered at the papers and the heads who were warning them of imminent disaster........."Ask Me Bollix" and "Ya on Drugs, Pal" were the standard ripostes.
The game has changed but still remains the same.....Duracell-packed slaves who'll do the bidding of their Lords and Masters. Serious dosh has been spent on replacing the fleet with compliant, non-whinging drivers from afar....and it's a fait accompli. Homo Whingeus is being supplanted/replaced. Howling at the moon with guffs of defiance and bravado won't alter destiny.
-

Daly I'm sorry to say this to you but about 2/3 of the fleet of drivers only left the jungle or exchanged ther elephant for a taxi car in paradise a cople yers ago, married to a USSR refugee brazzer they only met once if atall making money that is the stuff of dreams In the the absolute disease infected open sewer, corruption ridden hellhole on earth they crawled out of and they don't give two flying fuks either....you can stick any stickers yu want on ther face or charge them 50 % they'll just drive 200 hours a week if they tink they'll get another euro out of it......

Yeah and lets not forget most of them would not have as much overheads as the ordinary Irish Guy because of all the hand-outs they get. Hungry Cnuts

Your probably right,but dont you think its at least questionable how some of these people are passing a knowledge test considering some of them cannot even speak English ? My own belief ,(and im quite serious) is that though the authorities are well aware of this,they wont challenge it for fear of incurring the wrath of the immigrant council of Ireland
-
Does Free Now train them in different languages or are all the courses conducted in ENGLISH?
-
We hear so many stories of how they get their licences , suppose we could all start up a crazy rumour and before you realise it, it gather's legs.
Surely someone out there knows the truth , how are "they" keeping it a secret as to how the immigrants are getting through the PSV tests ?
-
We are all only small fish in a very big pond, we should learn to swim close to the shore.
'Free Now' is huge currently in over 100 cities across the world, their base is in Hamburg in Germany and the CEO Eckart Diepenhorst (I'm betting that with a handle like that he has his Mickey pierced !) is the fella calling all the shots or at least the top management board make all the decisions. The likes of Alan Fox, Ireland CEO and all CEO's in other cities are just mere workers the same as ourselves, they have about as much say-so about our working terms and conditions as the check-out girl in Centra has about how the supermarket is run.
All the CEO's report to their Boss Eckart and the Boss hearing all sides makes the informed decision about how best to treat us in order to maximize profits. It's a game and ya gotta know the rules of the game and abide by them and Play them well and always remember you are the smallest fish in this pond, but small fish can live well and healthy if they swim close to the shore.

Same way the mongs who hail from Ireland do who can't read or write.....the human eye needs only to be able to recognise A,B,C, or D. Simple learning precludes the need for knowledge.
-
The pass rate for the new Kathleen Doyle test is under 30%. When I done the "test" it was under the control of An Garda Siochana and had a pass rate of 99.999999999999999934% so I can't really complain about post-dereg new entrant scum. If we all had to pass the KD test periodically I might have something to whinge about I guess.

Because gobshites cant see past the next fiver and can only function when someone tells them what to do and what to wear.
-
And in the case of radio dispatchers,actually DISCIPLINE them for giving discounted work back.do ya think its because they were so used to being told what to do in the paye sector that they just cannot get used to running their own business,and taking responsibility ??

Personally i think they have mammy issues, probably afraid they will get sent to the naughty step or get spanked

So if your not a Worker DM, then what exactly are you ?
I doubt your a kingpin and doubt even further that you are a scrounger, so what are you ?
-

Do you take Card ? lol
-
Id say half of them on here probably agree,but are afraid of their slave masters Kearns,Kelly Ebbs to say anything in case their bosses find out it was them
-
Now, now....Dalyer....you've a pension...................don't be slagging off those who know FreeNow is the future.....and they are.......here, anyway.
-
Lippy of all the people on here you are the one person I thought could see the bigger picture.do you not accept that drivers are 100% In charge ,yet they run from the responsibility in favour of giving it over to a group of exploiters like Kearns Kelly and Ebbs
-
No...no, and no....they were never in charge, Dalyer...,they thought they were when they skulling Pina Coladas in Rumours and The Pink Elephant too................unfortunately..........you're never in charge unless you're in control.......cunts who never did a tap demanding 90k for a plate, plus 3....and them with more shakes than Yoko Ono after being fudge-packed by Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile at Boy Scout meeting????
-
Free Now are sticklers for discipline too, DM. They have made it quite clear that drivers breaking their rules will be sacked.
-
Id say half of them on here probably agree,but are afraid of their slave masters Kearns,Kelly Ebbs to say anything in case their bosses find out it was them
Does any of this affect you in any way DM ? Let 'em at it, who cares ?
Fer me I work the 'Free Now' app or the streets or personal work whatever suits me.
With 'Free Now' they offer me jobs, I don't have to take them, similar to street work I can pick or choose as I you see fit.
Nobody get's to dictate my work to me, they request a very minimal dress standard and a clean car, not really too much to be asking a PSV driver fer and there is no checks on dress code or car cleanliness with Free Now.
-
Of course it effects DM... we're giving all the work away to the German Now group of "mobility solutions" to do with what they wish.
-
Of course it effects DM... we're giving all the work away to the German Now group of "mobility solutions" to do with what they wish.
And We in turn are getting paid handsomely fer it !
-
Funny thing is you're not. Free Now's best drivers pay in excess of treble the freight charged by Irish dispatch firms during the last economic boom. You're actually paying to give DMs work away and you'll pay as much as the firm wants.
-
Ken I s a id many many times I have no problem with free now,because they dont try to treat drivers like employees unlike the 3 amigos.I am however opposed to the whole consept of dispatchers,but not nearly as much to free now
-
I don't think ken is as dumb as he pretends to be.He's just trying to wind yis up lads hoping Bill is looking in.
-
My commission rate with MT/FN has never since I left my base 18 months ago ever been more than my old base sub.
And my old base disallowed the PUC even though it was usually ignored.
-
Your base did not disallow it,YOUand your colleague's who refused to charge it, as a directive from your base are the problem.you allowed a base WHO WAS NOT YOUR EMPLOYER,tell you what to,charge,and this continues to be the problem even today
-

Why worry so much about trivial things that don't really affect us ?

NTA ruling on PUC :
"Booking fee of €2 may be charged for any method of engagement other than engaging at a taxi rank (including at an airport or other transport station or terminal) or hailing in the street. Such circumstances include a booking made by telephone, email, smartphone app, fax, text or letter, or a booking made through a telephone call or a personal visit to a dispatch operator’s office"
Surely you cant be penalised by a dispatch operator if you apply the law of the Taxi Land ?
-
You cannot be penalised by a dispatcher full stop.to allow yourself to be penalised in such a way,is an acknowledgement of belief that he is actually your empkoyer .its so sad really
-
So say you tell this dispatcher you are going to charge the PUC charge, is I likely this would be held against you in the work they divi out ?
-
I've never chased or gotten a bobo (as far as I know) and never had the stickers (though I've been asked a few times did I want "Ambassador Status") I Have no time for the greedy and arrogant fukkers that ran the base I was with before, who genuinely thought that you worked for them and that your money was their money . Hailo changed all that and for that I'm gratefull.. they provide me with quality work and that's grand .
I dislike the way they are gaming the business though and the way they seem to be controlling it . I will continue to take work from them when it suits but I'm thinking that I should shift the balance back in favour of street work and I think that we all should consider doing this where and when we can for many reasons >
-
Not if your a self respecting SELF EMPLOYED individual who DOES NOT allow 3rd party interference into your business
-
Divil you have just restored by belief in everything.all I keep asking drivers to do is TAKE BACK CONTROL from radio companies.these owners really think they employ the drivers.I dont know which is worse them treating drivers like employees,or drivers ALLOWING themselves to be treated like employees

-
Worse then that Ebbs actually had the cheek to tell drivers who supposedly run their own businesses that they CANNOT engage the services of another dispatcher at the same time. Now if that dont take the biscuit,then I don know what does.and,heres the part thats even harder to believe SELF EPKOYED MEN actually said ok.they actually allowed him to tell them who they could employ,or who they could not employ
-
Free Now (then mytaxi) was the last dispatch firm to allow drivers charge full fare and it still requires it's drivers to collect PUC and hand it over on top of freight in respect oil many jobs. It also requires drivers to pay parking fees out of their own pockets when collecting it's clients and charges them commission on said fees. If memory serves MfH was disciplined (suspended, I think) by Free Now (then mytaxi) for some alleged breach of its rules some time ago.
-
My commission rate with MT/FN has never since I left my base 18 months ago ever been more than my old base sub.
And my old base disallowed the PUC even though it was usually ignored.
My freight for last week was €91 for 28 hours spread over Mon, Tues, Wed and Sun... without covering any "hospitality" jobs. Imagine what the lads working Thurs, Fri and Sat and/or covering "hospitality" jobs are paying. During the last boom I paid C2K €80/week for a full week i.e. I could work and earn as much as I wanted at any time of the week and it included all bribes to pubs/hotels/car hire return sheds/etc.

You always speak so highly of can ,2000000ⁿ00ⁿ why don't you go back to them if the are so great ????

Cos the freight is €115...afaik.
-
No Hal I was saying that to the rat.he seems to think there is nobody like cab200000000000. on the other hand he is always slagging off free flow yet he works with them
-

Yeah I know.....but given that he's practically retired and a kept man....handing over 115 bucks per week wouldn't be financially viable.
-
Do ya reckon he's kept ?

Do ya reckon he's kept ?
Absofukinlutely.....supermodel hairdresser!!

He doesn't employ part-timers (AFAIK)... all full time professional (i.e. Irish by accident of birth) bar one or two tokens. Fortunately, I don't often work more than 20 hours/week and my average weekly hours is well under 20... so my freight with Free Now averages out at less than €63/week.
-
Well I work about the same as ya less then 20 a week and I don't have any frieght at all,AND I'm me own boss
-
You're better off if you don't like being told what to do and what not to do. We had some latitude with the Irish dispatch firms but those of us who work for Free Now are under no illusion. You obey the rules or you will be suspended or sacked.
-
Obeying the Rules means keeping a decent clean car and be respectable in appearance.
And Don't 'Act The Maggot' !
Hardly too much to ask of a Licenced PSV driver ?
-
Ken your missing the point .of course most drivers would say it's right that you have a clean car etc the point is we are not school children .we do not need to be told by Kelly Kearns Ebbs etc that we should keep our cars clean .it's the very essents of professionalism,but we don't need these people to tell us to do it
-
YES, WE DO !
-
I take pride wearing my piss stained trackie bottoms and premiership top....walking through the reception of the Crowne Plaza hotel....ye can't buy that sort of professionalism...just comes natural to me!!
-
Well Ken if it's the case that you need to be told to keep your car clean well if that was me I'd be wondering if I'm in the right game
-
But Ken is exempt because he's an ambassador and brings in them Donut's.
-
Ken's a ledge...in his own underpants!!

-
Well Ken if it's the case that you need to be told to keep your car clean well if that was me I'd be wondering if I'm in the right game
Fer myself I always keep my cab spotless and I dress approatiately Shirt, Pants, Boots.
I'm sure we have all seen the condition of some cabs and some drivers, un-shaven, dirty looking, abmisal dress, filthy cabs.

Super Ken, I have always said it takes same amount of time to do it right as it does to do it wrong.
Your obviously a carer in what you do, nothing wrong with that, fair play.
-
I saw one of our 'professional' colleagues in shorts and flip flops the other day.
-
I think it's only the FN ambassadors that have to keep their cars clean, Ken. However, we have all been threatened with sacking if we try to recoup parking fees incurred ins collecting Free Now's clients... previously we had to give discounts of up to 33% and I think MfH was suspended for stealing Priority status or something like that. Free Now gives out mixed messages as far as dress goes... they have instructed drivers who serve their "business" clients to dress appropriately yet they supply hooded tracksuits to the FN ambassadors.

Flip flops are probably dangerous.Shorts wouldn't bother me.We're only driving monkeys.No point in sweating our balls off just to look good for some gimp in a suit who doesn't want to wear one.
-
Don't think it's only F/N who have to keep their cars clean rat,I know of a particular gentleman who works for your beloved cab20000000000000 who was up in a certain hotel recently on official business of making sure the SELF EMPLOYED drivers were doing what they were told and wearing their uniforms ,and clean cars this prick called James actually made a comment to a mate of mine that the drivers usually shite themselves when they see him coming in fact he told my mate that sometimes they even do a u turn and high tail it out of there how's that for being self employed

There was a suggestion in an email from Free Now once that cars should be kept clean and preferably get a wash Twice weekly but there is no enforcement of it, also they once requested drivers to wear approiate attire as in Not track-suits, T-shirts or Runners.
Hardly too much to ask of a PSV driver ?
-
I saw one of our 'professional' colleagues in shorts and flip flops the other day.
During the long heatwave last summer there were some scary looking sights emerged from the drivers door of a few Cork cabs !
-
Ken any driver with the slightest bit of pride in his job would maintain an appropriate level of cleanliness bboth personally,and also his work place or his car.if he need to be TOLD to do it by Kelly Kearns Ebbs etc then he has no place in our industry.the only enforcement in this regard should be carried out by the NTA enforcement team.to some extend they actually ARE our bosses not the afore mentioned towrag
-

-
... but they supply hooded tracksuits, Ken. Mixed messages?
To be fair, DM... all of us who work for Free Now know we must obey their rules as well as NTAs. They can (and will) suspend or sack us, not NTA.
-
Sack ya.do they pay tax and PRSI for ya ????

Good fer the Dispatcher, I'm no big fan of dispatchers but good to see that someone is making an effort to keep drivers in line.
The state of some drivers and their cabs is a disgrace, it's not too much to ask of a PSV driver to wash, shave and put on decent clothes ?
-
Sack ya.do they pay tax and PRSI for ya ????
No, technically we're self-employed so we are responsible for our own income tax or lack thereof as the case may be. However, they can still sack us.
-
Don't think I'd like to get into a Joe with a dirty smelly Cnut of a driver.
-
I don't think you have much choice up above in Dublin these days. I frequently collect passengers who suggest that I must be the last Irishman driving a taxi in Dublin.
-
....... yet they supply hooded tracksuits to the FN ambassadors.
Before we all get carried away too far, where did all this hooded tracksuits bit come from ?
I was in the Cork FN office yesterday and they were offering branded FN jackets, No Hood.
-
They had them in the depot up above in Dublin that time I went in for a chat with Tim and Fiona. I think they called it a fleece, I didn't fancy being fleeced myself but they were trading as mytaxi back then.
-
I got me Joe rebranded yesterday and honestly I'm disappointed that the new 'Free Now' stickers are not as Kick-Ass as the old 'MyTaxi' stickers !

He brought in something better than donuts....his tongue!!

I didn't take one myself yesterday but I did see them, nice jackets in black they were definately with No hood.
I don't mind them branding my cab if'n I get extra work fer it, but they ain't branding ME !
-
They get the extra work, what they do with it is up to them. Currently, they sell it to taxis, hackneys and clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines but they are proponents of P2P rideshare.

I often wondered why drivers who obviously don't have the ability to run their own business,ever left the PAYE sector ,?surely if you need to be told what to do like a school child the SELF EMPLOYED industry is n place for you ,,? If you can't work on your own initive and find your own work what the fukk are you doing in a SELF EMPLOYED INDUSTRY ,?? R at is always giving out about the commission drivers have to pay to FN yet he works with them ,he lives can 20000000000000 yet he won't go back to them,am I missing something here ?

Yea !
How to make the most money in the shortest time !!
-
And pay the most commission ,and give up your right to be self employed,and be a lap dog for Ebbs Kelly,Kearns ,and all the other fukkers who are milking you,and the loss of your dignity by claiming to be self employed ,when in fact you are not etc
-
DM , it's like if someone works in the PAYE/PRSI sector they too are also a slave of sorts to their employer same as us FN drivers.
At the end of the day we are all working for someone , even you have to pay Taxes which equates to you working for the Govn.
-

I am not an employee of any company .I do not have to adhere to any rules laid down by any employer.the only rules I have to adhere to are those laid down by the NTA ,and the Gardai.drivers on the other hand,who align themselves with radio dispatchers are subject to wherever rules are invoked by that company.so how can they in all honesty declare themselves to be self employed ?
-
Does this mean that all "Self-Employed" people are not really Self-Employed ?
If SE people did not have someone to work for they would go out of business !!
-
Definition of Self-Employed :
"earning income directly from one's own business, trade, or profession rather than as a specified salary or wages from an employer "
There is a lot of competition out there for all SE people in every industry, you have got to do what it takes to survive.
I'm sure the SE painter will do his best to undercut the next guy or maybe have a nice van or wear nice cloths when he is quoting . It's all part of the SE game.
-
Yes but he is not being told by a scumbag to keep his ladder clean,and what price to charge for the job,and certainly not being disciplined by anyone .unlike taxi drivers who claim to be self employed yet are prepared to allow the 3 musketeers tell them what to do

Definition of self employment.earning income from your own trade or profession rather then from an employer.if you are aligned to let's say Kearns company for instance and you breach his rules,he will discipline you by knocking you off his system for a limited period of time therefore hindering your ability to potentially earn more.to that extent you are not self employed,because you have sucome to a set of rules determined by someone which had a direct impact on your ability to earn.imo it should be clarified in a court of law if these people have a duty of care insofar as employees rights,and procedures are concerned

If you bring in Donut's are you any less self employed than the driver who does not bring them in ?

I know for a fact C2K use Free Now to cover work....especially from the Crowne Plaza Northwood....Dave Mastersons name came up a few times on jobs I've covered....although I heard earlier in the week that he was let go by Mr Kelly and is now back driving a WAT...with a radio from C2K!!
