@UtUCabGlasgow They're also warning lack of taxi drivers could impact what should be one of busiest weekends of the year for Glasgow's night time industries.
It's estimated around 40% of drivers dropped out over pandemic, & the cab union fear 100s more will follow due to new low emission zone.
Glasgow's taxi drivers are considering a boycott of the Sauchiehall Street rank.
@UtUCabGlasgow say parked cars & a lack of enforcement mean it is effectively unusable.
They warn it's a public safety issue as vulnerable revellers struggle to get a taxi home after a night out.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Glasgow City Council has just passed the #GetMeHomeSafely motion
This will benefit thousands of workers by ensuring they have access to safe & free transport home after 11pm.

Today, Cardiff Taxi Drivers sent a clear message to @cardiffcouncil that plans to remove vehicle cap restrictions for electric/euro 6 cars are unacceptable.
The Drivers are willing to put up a fight and we want the council to rethink these plans before this dispute escalates.
Billions for the @MullerRice family, broken promises for ours! As a major supplier @waitrose cannot wash their hands of this dispute, they should meet @unitetheunion today.
If you agree, sign the petition & support the workers ➡️ https://t.co/kDny3RvdyM
Workers are sick to death of being told to take a hit on their wages & living standards while employer after employer is guilty of rampant profiteering. MDHC is controlled by a tax-exiled billionaire & can afford to pay these workers a proper #payrise. https://t.co/NvaYslEqXb
❌Protecting the Directors pay
❌anti union behaviour
❌The latest attacks on annual leave
profits have risen substantially on the back of the workers but they fail to acknowledge this.
As a publicly owned airport they should hang their heads in shame.
Support the workers #Rt
🚨 Prestwick airport workers are preparing to take action 🪧.
And here is why:
❌ The pay offer falls well below inflation. It’s a real terms pay cut
❌ Failing to pay new starts the real living wage
❌Attacks on our members
❌refusing to pay shift allowances
🍀 @FoundationCFC, the charitable arm of #CelticFC is delighted to make another significant donation of £7k to fund this year’s @TaxiOutingFund to Troon for hundreds of very deserving children.

@CllrTKerr @spha_drivers @UtUCabGlasgow @Glasgow_Times With today being a day to celebrate the 75th Taxi Outing to Troon, it’s of interest to note that on the day, 62% of the taxis, taking the kids away for the day of their lives, were non-compliant to the LEZ, as was the dignitaries car. Question is, will there be a 76th outing?
Its the 75th #taxistotroon today (15 June) and we got to wave them off to Troon👏
The sun is shining, and there’s lots of happy children. Have a cracking day everyone 🤩
@TaxiOutingFund
