Madam, – The vast majority of the private sector has been grappling with the “worsening working conditions” brought about by the recession. Rather than taking the unenlightened route of striking, with all the damaging effects this has for the reputation and business of the taxi profession, why doesn’t the profession fight back in a more proactive way by being better?
Improve service, improve visibility and branding as a way to win more business and improve the “working conditions”. You only have to look at how taking a taxi is a way of life in New York – a large part of which is down to the consistent and uniform yellow cab branding. Other cities such as London and Berlin have embraced this to good effect. – Yours, etc,
