RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the resolution from our London Taxis branch and accept the sentiments expressed in it. London taxi drivers face many important issues, and this union should have the right to represent our members’ views on these issues through the TfL Taxi Engagement Policy. We therefore demand that the Taxi Engagement Policy recognise RMT, as it does other organisations, as a bona fide representative body of taxi drivers.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
• write to relevant TfL officers outlining our demand for the recognition of RMT for London taxi drivers and seeking a meeting with them to discuss this
• write to the Mayor of London, GLA members and TfL Board members about this issue
• seek to have this issue raised at Mayor’s Question Time, at a GLA meeting and/or at the TfL Board
• obtain a legal opinion on this matter
• place this issue back in front of us in the event of any replies or other developments
London Transport Regional Council and London Taxis branch to be advised.
