As Taxi drivers, you are the boss, so what is there to protect
you from exploitation by taxi companies, if you fight for rental
issue, you go court, the court will throw the issue out of the
court base on that you are the boss,
You rent the cab with eyes open, if dun like, throw key, same as
the taxi companies, if they dun like you, they can sack
you.
From the perspectives of laws, it take on the equilibrium of the
issue, not your emotion or whatever personnal issues.
You agree to the terms, you rent = taxi companies provide
taxi for you
You throw key = taxi companies take back the key and may ask you
to compensate as per the terms agreed
Fair?
On the other hand
You did not follow the term agreed = Taxi companies remove
you
You do not agree to something new on the term or so forth = you
remove the company by throw key
Fair? democratic enough??
This is how laws take on you as a taxi drivers.
TD joining companies is unlike normal workers, workers are
contracted for service under the employment act, and when they join
union, they are covered by Trade union act and IR Act, in one
united force, they get a union rep, chairman, to negiotiate with
company for wages increase, bonuses, and so on.
For workers, they can, collectively, have an agreement on
the terms and conditions with the company boss, and this
agreement is called Collective Agreement, in it, it spell out all
the regulation, retrenchment benefits, leaves, hospital, medical
insurance and so forth, and this is the most important paper the
workers hold, it is certified by the IAC.
Taxi drivers got what??? nothing, you go in, you agree with the
term, you drive on, not agree, can fark off. We are therefore, on
our own.
