👏👏👏WHAT A FANTASTIC RESULT FOR UNITE WALES & ALL THE CARDIFF HACKNEY DRVERS




[UniteWales @UniteWales]

Following constructive dialogue with @tfwrail & @cardiffcouncil, the Cardiff Central Taxi Rank WILL be reintroduced after works are done in Saunders Rd

Adequate temporary ranks will be introduced in Penarth Rd during this time

Well done to our members. Big result!

#CheersDrive

[UniteWales @UniteWales]

After an emotive meeting with members today, their final position is clear. Cardiff Central rank is essential for the public & providing a living wage for drivers.

The rationale given is inconsistent and concerning. The rank must remain unaltered.

Our members will not be moved.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Cardiff Council have today agreed our proposal to increase the cost of hackney taxi fares across the city, subject to public consultation.

The increase would help our members within the trade combat the current cost of living crisis.

[Cardiff Hackney Alliance @HackneyCardiff]

@huwthomas_Wales We would like to thank all the Cabinet members for their positive support for our proposal. This is a much needed increase, we believe there are plenty of challenges ahead. Hopefully this increase will help the trade at a difficult time. we’re keen 2 work together 2 overcome this

@vaughangething £28m 4 taxi trade in Scotland - accordin 2 @transport_wales there r 11.4k licensed drivers in Wales = £500 each from current support package totals £5.7m surely @WelshGovernment can do better? Our trade is once again decimated by these restrictions #taxi

Another donation was made today for #foodbanks from the Taxi & PH community, this time it was given to @CardiffFoodbank. Thanks to @huwthomas_Wales @normam123 and @2000jama for being present to hand the check over.

[UniteWales @UniteWales]

Today, workers from the #Cardiff taxi trade handed over a huge donation to the @CardiffFoodbank.

An incredibly kind gesture from a group of workers, who, despite seeing their incomes plummet during the pandemic, felt the need to help the most vulnerable people in our society.

[Cardiff Hackney Alliance @HackneyCardiff]

We would like to wish @RctUnite the very best on their new branch and welcome them to @UniteWales family. We are always here if you need anything. @2000jama @AbdulHie82

🚨 @alikhlascec food bank received £3,000 in donations from #Cardiff #taxi drivers. @UniteWales 🚨🚕

They say they are incredibly grateful for the funding as demand for food parcels at the centre has surged from 30 parcels a week to up to 200 during the height of the pandemic.

[Zahra Fatima @ZahraFatimaTV]

🚨The labour MS @JennyRathbone has praised the “extraordinary” generosity of @UniteWales #taxi #drivers who donated £10,000 to foodbanks in the city. 🍲

A huge thanks to #Cardiff taxi drivers for the generous donation of £3000 for our foodbank.

We appreciate your #Kindness and #support @2000jama, Abdul Hie, Gareth Carter and @JennyRathbone.

Also to all our volunteers without whom we couldn't carry out the vital work we do.

[Yusef jama @2000jama]

Can everyone show solidarity & support our Scottish comrades with their petition. We need reps to share this with all members to show we are all United and their fight is our fight. It only takes 2 minutes to sign. Plenty of drivers out there who can help.

#Unityandsolidarity

[Cardiff Hackney Alliance @HackneyCardiff]

Fantastic to see our members in the Cardiff Taxi/Private Hire trade donating £3000 to @alikhlascec alongside @JennyRathbone today.

Incredible generosity shown by drivers, who despite struggling financially themselves, have raised funds to help the most vulnerable in our society.
