Jeremy Corbyn's speech to the Co-Op party (the one the United Cabbies Group [UCG] have alined themselves with) ahead of the Young Labour Policy Conference.
"Labour is thinking radically about how we can use the power of new technology in the coming decades to make our economy work for us all.
"Technology of the digital age should empower us as workers and consumers, allowing us to cooperate in a way that wasn’t possible in the past.
"Imagine an Uber run co-operatively by their drivers, collectively controlling their future, with profits shared or re-invested."
And again! No mention of the high number of rapes and sexual assaults from this company who enabled it's drivers to work with fake DBS criminal record check certificates!!!
Jeremy, we've all ready got that....a collective of professional highly regulated drivers non dependent on foreign multi billion dollar slave drivers, controlling their own future in line with government legislation and local regulation....it's called the Hackney Black Cab Taxi industry!!!
Jeremy, imagine a London devoid of the traditional Black cabs...25,000 full tax paying drivers put out of work by a foreign Non-dom tax avoiding company who uses slave labour, most drawing state benefits, many with fakes criminal record checks on its drivers, fakes medicals, allows the hacking of customers accounts, spies on its customers and doesn't report complaints of sex attacks by its drivers on customers to the police???
Is this the future Labour wants for the UK Jeremy?
Taxi Leaks Extra Bit :
London also has one of the largest and most comprehensive bus networks in the world, with 9000 buses running on 700 bus routes, as well as 20 tube lines providing a 24hour service at weekends and around 100,000 non-Uber Minicabs and Taxis.
Even if Uber are not relicensed, no one will find themselves stranded in London.
If TFL capitulates to public and political pressure based on the arguments being made, that they have 3.5 million users, it could set a very troubling precedent.
If a company can get away with illegal and unethical behaviour simply because it has a lot of customers, it would send out the message that the richest corporations are above the law in London.
Let's get one thing straight....uber drivers are self-employed as Minicab drivers!
If uber lose their operators licence, the drivers still remain self-employed Minicab drivers....they haven't lost their licenses.
They can work as self-employed Minicab drivers for anyone of the other 2,500 fit and proper TfL licensed operators in the capital.

I'm a Salford PH Driver, I've attended panel and Magistrates helping those that can't afford a solicitor or speak up for them selves and here we are having a political debate, when it should be left to the Courts to define if TfL were right! Take the media attention away to get Magistrates to make judgement on there own.g
Proudhon mutuals can be very successful, John Lewis is a good example.
Amazing a French anarchist thought of it, as an alternative to state control.
Debatable whether Proudhon's political opposites on the left, the state socialists, who tend to see the state as the solution could really organise one.
Just another example of our so called Left Wing orgs showing they have a salutary no relevance.
Completely ignored by the politicians they worship.
Good idea Jeremy.
Ok any Uber driver want a shar in this company
that has lost $1.5b so far this year, subsidising rides
and using illega predator pricing?
Great Jeremy. How about this new cooperative and all the drivers are allowed to not pay tax or comply with any regulations too? Just like Uber.
Just as well this prat will never get in.
Rather him than the Tories. They will never get rid of Uber because they are corrupted by the money of big business at the expense of what is good for the country. They have proved themselves to support Uber. Can't see any taxi driver logically wanting to vote for them. Which leaves him, and the stopping of Ubers little tax loophole.
Uber is ground breaking company, never before in the history of England has a firm been to connected to so many, crimes, terrorist attacks, murders, rapes,sexual assaults, road traffic accidents injuries and deaths, congestion , double dealing, law bending and breaking all in just 5 years can anyone really renew this firms licence, and not end up with egg on there face. Add lee also operated in the same market, but did not have all these crimes going on,they are not perfect, and now are very rufless, but play the game and would never let this happen in London. The reason I think is the fact add lee have human contact with the drivers on a weekly basis ,the drivers know that they will have to answer to any bad behaviour, and probably be sent home there and then without a car and job. Uber has to go, it is a real bad apple, uber will become the new word for Ratner.
