UTAG Suspend Contributions From Supporters

Suspension of UTAG supporters payments.

Dear Member,

Recent developments in the Governments approach to combating the Covid19 virus has seen a marked downturn in our work levels.

We have no idea how long this situation will last but are fully cognisant of the financial effect facing us all.

For the reasons stated we have decided to suspend all payments toward the £250 Full Member status for the next 3 months. 

This will take effect from today, Friday 20th March and will last until Friday, June 19th.

We shall then review the situation and if work levels are back to normal we shall contact to reinstate your chosen payment plan.

Please be assured that this 3-month break will have no adverse effect on your right to any compensation that may arise from a commercial case against TfL.

Everyone who fulfils the £250 donation criteria will be eligible, despite a payment break.

You do not need to do anything; we will do all that is needed.

We have also arranged a Freephone helpline for any member who may have questions on this or any other UTAG matters.

This number is 0800 302 9460.

Judicial Review 

We applied to the High Court to Judicially Review the decision of TfL to allow Uber's continued operation despite their refusal to renew the ULL operators licence.

This application has been denied by Mrs Justice AmandaTipple.

In the opinion of our QC, her reason for rejection is wholly unacceptable and we have challenged it by way or requesting an Oral Hearing at the High Court. 

This request is a matter of right and we await the date of the hearing.

Such hearings will be conducted by a different Judge and we feel the decision will be reversed, allowing. our JR to go ahead.

We will update you asap.

In closing, we should like to thank all of you for your invaluable support.

UTAG is only as strong as our supporters. 

With your support, we can ensure the future of our world-renowned trade.

Thank you so much.

Best wishes

On behalf of everyone in team UTAG

TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT : 
A message to Taxi App companies, CC clearance companies, representative Orgs and Taxi Unions... now would be a good time to also announce suspension of subscriptions and commissions. 

It will only take one to step up to the mark, and the others will follow!

When this is over, we will remember those who supported us, the drivers.
