HSE contract

[john m]

Talk is Mytaxi got the Dublin Gig .Will the country runs go on fixed fares to the Hacks .limos .Why would you give the work to taxi drivers who you already have work for .

[Jack Meoff]

The HSE work in Cork is all on the meter.

[john m]

There is a big question then .If the HSE work is on the meter were the dispatchers trousering the discounts for themselves .

[Jack Meoff]

I’d say this is the first year it’s happened.

I cant tell ya how happy this makes me,the first big contract lost by those bastards ,I hope its the begining of the end for them.let them go and try and take over another industry,and treat the SELF EMPLOYED like employees and see how far they get

That's why they're horrible cunts....charging freight and trousering a big % of drivers metered fares!!

[mercenary for hire]

So what's the reason for chasing this type of work?They already have difficulty covering the work they have.Are they trying to entice a few more drivers from NRC and Xpert?

They've been ringing my mobile almost every day for the last month.I'm guessing they don't know I have their number blocked.Driver recruitment can be the only motive I can see.

[Shallowhal]

Maybe they feel there's more money to be had from drivers with discounts...drivers seem happy to accept whatever's thrown at them.

Id day there is a number of reasons for chasing it.(1) they want to monopolize the industry,and see off the competition,(2)they intend capturing all new entrants,( and a lot of existing drivers) (3) when they have total control,they can then make the rules without any resistance from the NTA,Goverment,or anyone else

[Punter]

My tuppence worth--they got County Dublin,Cork and Galway --basically anywhere they couldn't get covered !

[Tony]

I'd say it will cost you 12% + €2 hospitality charge

[dalymount]

Hopefully radio scum companies will become surplas to requirement,not that they were ever required in the first place

[Vikkiz]

NRC will be gone soon enough. I’d say the HSE was keeping them going.

Drivers will cover the HSE work as it’s not discounted and will only cost them 12% as opposed to a €89 base fee and whatever discount it was they gave.

(4) To promote P2P Rideshare.

 possibly rat ,very possibly.could this be the start of my long held ambition to see the radio company scum heading for the exit door ? Let them fukk off and try another industry where they treat self employed men like employees and see how far they get
