Rat says yet man Joe whatsit said 20,000 before

[Bob Shillin]

We should be doing fukin cartwheels about this IF WE ARE BEING HONEST  I certainly hope its true

Spoken like a good trade unionist.

Buyback @ the price of licence @ issue and a guarentee you can get the dole .I would get out .

Buyback @ the price of licence @ issue and a guarentee you can get the dole .I would get out .

Cannot see any circumstance where that would be feasible, hopefully some drivers have discovered a new way to make a living during our extended leave, certainly not 10,000 or anything like it, most of us will be back out trying to scrape by until normality resumes.

Bob I don't claim to be a trade unionist, well not anymore anyway. I say what I think, Andi can gaurentee there's a lot more on here who would be EQUALLY delighted at the prospect of less completion. It's every man for himself now, I have seen in this game unity just doesn't exist. How many times have I said on here the only way anything would ever be achieved is through unity. Not one fukin driver on here supported me in that belief so my additude now  is , fukk them every man for himself

[Bob Shillin]

I would have thought that any Eircom worker employee would thank his lucky stars for the trade union movement.

Bob I was on the Dublin number 2 branch committie . I served under David Begg. Paul Reid  (now HSE head )was also a branch committie member. People change. Are you seriously telling me you would be terribly under if there were 10,000 less taxis on the road ? At least I'm being fukin honest, and not pretending I give a bollox about them

[Bob Shillin]

I think that the trade is at balance point regarding driver numbers, and wouldn't wish a job loss on anyone.

[dalymount]

Well unlike you, I think there are far far far to many fukin taxis, and that shower of cunts the NTA a while ago were trying to recruit a FURTHER 1600 .do you welcome completion bob ? Cause I certainly dont

[Theoneandonly]

A trade union cannot represent 27,000 (or whatever it is) sole traders, we are in competition with each other ,we are not co workers, what we need/needed was a representative association fighting for the best outcome for the industry rather than the individual.
What we got/have are socialists looking out for individuals
What we need/needed was capitalists looking out for small businesses
In Kelly we got a minister who listened to our customers as well as the industry so we ended up with about half of what was required (the customer half)
If he'd listened only to the industry we'd still have clapped out Carinas on the fleet held together with sellotape and rented out by dodgy cunts down in west meath

[dalymount]

I'm not sure the people you mentioned represent ANYBODY . I haven't heard a word from any representative body that benefits existing drivers. All I hear them going in about is how many left the trade, look at Waldron tioday saying 10,000 jobs will be lost, in effect saying to the NTA you better get ready to recruit replacements ( not that they need any prompting from him) then I heard that they are promoting dispatchers although I must confess I don't know if that's true or not, but the fact is their is STILL a lot wrong with the industry, and the reps have not done much to address it

[silverbullet]

Almost 1500 deaths and you quarrel over a couple of stickers?

Sheesh!

I finally emailed the NTA yesterday about if I should send the tamper proof discs back.

They replied today.


Following your application to NTA for the above mentioned licence to be placed into a period of suspension, NTA confirms that this SPSV vehicle licence is now suspended until 12/08/2020. The licence is being suspended as there is currently no SPSV insurance cover on this vehicle.

The suspension of licence is being facilitated under section 12(3) of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. The licence will cease to have effect during this period and the period of this suspension shall not be construed as to extend the period of operation of the licence.

Under Section 17 of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016, whenever a SPSV licence is suspended you must do the following immediately;

Remove the roof sign from your vehicle (Taxi/Wheelchair Accessible Taxi).
Remove NTA tamper proof discs from front and rear windows of your vehicle.
Within 21 days, return NTA tamper-proof discs AND the SPSV Licence Certificate to -
National Transport Authority, SPSV Licensing Section, PO Box 436, City North Business Park, Tuam Road, Galway.



I wonder why they suspended it until 12th August? my insurance is due end of July.  as usual they have made things really simple for me.
