IWU urge all taxi drivers to Vote NO

category national | anti-capitalism | press release author Wednesday August 12, 2009 13:58author by Brian Halpin - Taxi Drivers Branch - IWUauthor email brian.halpin at hotmail dot comauthor phone 01-8197731 Report this post to the editors

The Taxi Drivers Branch of the Independent Workers Union will be urging all of our members and all taxi drivers to vote No in the upcoming referendum on the lisbon Treaty.

This treaty is the exact same treaty we rejected only a year ago. The guarantees are not legally binding, only promises that they will be introduced at some unknown future date.

Most importantly, the treaty furthers the free market values that amount to a race to the bottom for Taxi Drivers. The competition organised by the regulator has resulted in our members having to work 70 hours a week to get a living wage. This is forcing driver to work against driver while lowering wages and working conditions to rock bottom.

The treaty is nine years old and out of date. It enshrines the failed economic policies that led to the current global recession. The cosy circle of politicians, bankers and developers who caused this crisis now expects ordinary working people to pay for their failures.

With all this in mind, we are urging all taxi drivers to organise their voice and send a clear message to the taxi regulator, Kathleen Doyle and Government Minister Dempsey and reject the lisbon Treaty.
