and art gallery and I want to issue a
call for unity for the tenth of februari
demonstrations in Trafalgar Square it's
an appeal for immunity and action
amongst all those who drive for a living
the black cabs will be there in strength
and their organizations though not
entirely United or at least United on
one or two things and it's my case the
uber drivers and private hard drivers
generally have those things in common
with the black cap the first is the need
for a cap on numbers if we keep going on
multiplying hundreds every week then not
only will undhan come to a halt in a
fume filled logjam with far too many
people applying for hire in one form or
another on the street at the same time
but the only result can be the endless
driving down of wages uber drivers for
example amongst whom I was just week or
two ago many of them are working for
five pounds an hour this in a city where
we're demanding among the living wage of
double got ten pounds on all these uber
drivers have no sick pay no holiday pay
no rights of any kind they're employed
by people who pretend to be just a
manufacturer of a technological app we
can have that the stories these wooby
drivers are telling me were like stories
from 1910 not from 2016 some of them are
complaining that they are sleeping in
their cars because they have to work all
the hours that God sends five pounds an
hour in order simply to keep body and
soul together so I'm going to welcome
whoever they work for one of the work
for uber or Addison Lee or one of the a
one-man business
black taxi gap if I'm the mayor of
london I'm going to solve this out I
want to run uba out of town but not the
drivers we need a plan transport economy
where we find agreement amongst those
who work for the industry not the
100,000 pounds a year plus transport all
as tfl me as the mayor with the you PhD
who will represent I hope eventually all
one hundred thousand of those driving in
the private hire sector and the unions
and associations who represent the black
caddy between us will sort out a
rational logical planned transport
economy but until we get there I will
support every worker who is driving for
a living whoever the working for and
George Galloway I stand for alumna for
all
