There is a law saying that independent contractors can't organize and they having enough trouble keeping the unions that they legally already had.<br /><br />I actually found some of the union people both ignorant and hostile. One union rep - a girl just out of college - started yelling at me when I told her we needed legal help. She refused to give me a referral and said that we should learn how to talk to the companies using an "I'm OK,You're OK" approach. I kid you not.<br /><br />I also gave a paper helpful in a suit to a "Left-wing" lawyer. When I got fired sometime later, I went to see the attorney and he claimed he'd never seen me before.<br /><br />I think that the unions during that period were on the run and had to scap the bottom of the barrel to find people to work for them.<br /><br />There are so many different interests in the cab business that it's almost impossible to organize them. <br /><br />Tariq actually might have been a start if he hadn't been obsessed with attacking Hayashi. Aside from being insane, it turned off all the drivers who rightly liked her.Crocker Amazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344354862430937003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708859863717325805.post-58605790618817089962012-08-24T21:47:56.131-07:002012-08-24T21:47:56.131-07:00Ed..
