Four welfare officers went to the Michael street rank and to the Hospital and Railway ranks. Not surprisingly there was a mass exit from the rank as soon as word spread. Drivers disappeared for the Day. Some of these drivers have even been working in the industry for decades. I am not saying there defrauding welfare but it's a bit of a coincidence. Only problem here is that it seems we can't beat the Government so we start turning on ourselves. Older established drivers now pensioners are no longer welcome in the Industry. It's a bone of contention for drivers to see these men with their pension sitting on the rank next to them. Then its guys leasing plates, Obviously it's not good that they Don't produce a tax clearance every year, but other than that, What other industry are you prevented from leasing or renting? None .. Then its double jobbers, as much as we dislike them no Government is ever going to stop them. We have a Government that gives back to work schemes to the drivers you compete with and instead of raising hell with them were after retired lads with a pension. You have welfare subsidizing half the taxi industry legitimately and no body seems to want to fight them. It's Dog eat Dog now with figures being pointed and the wrong conclusions came to. Evan in relation to the number of Unions now. How easy it's becoming for Government . Davide and conquer........
