TAC

[Rat Catcher]

And how does it work,do they have any real infuence or do they take votes on policy decisions?

In general it's presented with one or more options by NTA and approves the desired option which then goes to public consultation. Sitting on TAC would be useful for a firm capable of influencing the options presented to the Committee e.g. through lobbying. Encouraging those around the table to support the desired option ought to be easy enough, there's not too many high earners.

No despatcher who enforces discounting the legal fare should be allowed a place there.

Ebbs started down the discount road followed very quickly by Kearns et al.
Then all followed.
Ebbs gives drivers money to account punters who didn't ask for it.
Not ONE driver has the cohones to demand to see the written contract.
Don't know why I'm bothered, as I wouldn't lower myself to his gutter level.
No doubt they'll be delivering Chinkys soon.

Looks like what I have been saying all along is starting to happen.you have only yourselves to blame.the radio company scumbags now owned you.you were not preparedto fukk their radi back at them,and now they will havetotal control.you were the main players,but you insisted on giving up your power to cunts who will now ride you.there is stil one chance for  you,and that is for ALL of you to fukk the radio back at these bastards.its no longer a joke,these towrags really ARE your employers now,and you assisted them in taking over the industry.these are scumbags who got into this industry,using dodgy money,and dodgy influential people.you all know that,yet you allowed it to happen.shame on you for allowing gangsters,and crooks into our industry

I don't have a radio.
Having given several a go over the years, each have their own level of corruption. Most have criminals involved, it being a cash rich business and a good place to clean dirty money.
If the major App proves corrupt then I'd leave that too.

Im very disappointed that drivers know without question ,that we are dealing with scumbags who would be more akin to the front pages of the Sunday world ,then sitting on the TAC and are STILL prepared to turn a blind eye.the one thing im sure of though is,some day the truth will come out.some day one of these scumbags will make a mistake,and their criminal empires will be exposed to all in sundry

[The Liffey Lip]

Hope they sue like Dana if it happens.

[dalymount]

Do I take it you are in favour of the scumbags getting total control then lippy ?

[The Liffey Lip]

A Judge ruled some time ago that no man can be deprived of a livelihood just because of a criminal conviction. Nobody's holding a gun to these guys signing up to radio companies. Plenty of scumbags driving Taxis, Dalyer.........never mind running the show. The real threat is the one the airheads on here keep promoting...........and as Merc says, because they have plants here, I won't bother naming said company.

Has it been established that these "scumbags" have criminal convictions?

[dalymount]

Thats just it lippy,if as John m says they are seeking the alignment of all taxi drivers to these cunt radio companys ,then a gun actually IS being put to the head of drivers to comply.the influence these scumbags could have on the TAC is frightening

[The Liffey Lip]

Gun pointed by the aforementioned app provider.........ammunition paid for by compliant fools promoting it........trigger pulled by ?

[dalymount]

Its not to late,drivers STILL have control by giving back radios.no drivers,no radio companies.but will they do it ?will they fukk

[dalymount]

Drivers have already allowed these people get an unnecessary foothold into the industry.now they are prepared to go all the way,and let then take over completely.that is what will happen if its not stopped now.it will become law. You will have to join one of the gangsters conpanies.the Government also expressed the desire to have us all aligned to the scum.I fwlt so strongly about it (and I still do) that I told Alan Kelly ay the time,that although I am not a representative of anybody in the industry,I would actively go around all ranks in the city and ask independent drivers to robustly oppose any attempt to force us to align.I would hope that TTNH,and all reps within the Industry would support me in this

[The Liffey Lip]

Again, plants and moles, aka information gatherers. "Earned a monkey with M..t..i last weekend, lads....easier than picking up tramps from the street".etc. etc.......

The biggest fool is the one trying to make stupid not stupid.

Dalyer the TAC is a talking shop has only the power to agree with the Chairman who sets the agenda to implement government policy .I would think there are a few peopkle who were not trying to set up unions or repbodies shunned approaches to go on the TAC .

[The Liffey Lip]

You don't see too many bigging up Ebbs or the other fella here.........quite a few doing exactly that for the other crowd..........hands in many pockets.
