On the 20th July 2018, the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) sent an email suspending indefinitely the Central Branch of the LTDA which represents All London Green Badge holders. This is a place where LTDA members can discuss and suggest ideas to the Council of Management (COM) at the LTDA. There has been a number of issues raised by the Central Branch that have been outright dismissed by the COM on a continuous basis that has meant that nothing the Branch say or do can be carried out. In the past 2 years the LTDA have shut down 2 other branches to stop us drivers being able to have a collective say in how the LTDA is run.
Following on from the Uber court case last week (25/06/18) there are many drivers asking "What do the LTDA actually do for us". As the main Association for the trade it should be far more proactive in representing us.

The branch has also questioned practises by the COM and LTDA over many years. These include:

The LTDA not carrying out their duties to protect and develop the jobs of its members to the best of its ability.
Suspected Accounting Irregularities,
Rules of the LTDA not being followed correctly,
COM members not showing their actual contribution to the running of the LTDA and their justification of their personal place on the Council of Management at the LTDA.

This petition is asking for signatures to force the LTDA to a Special General Meeting where a Vote of No Confidence on each individual member of the Council of Management at the LTDA can be taken and to be able to hold new elections to get alternative members installed on the COM at the LTDA.

Whats needed is 51% of the membership to force this SGM. Thats around 5000-5500 Cab Drivers. Please sign this petition to show the LTDA that this petition is serious.

Thank you for reading this and please pass this link around to ALL LTDA members via Email, Facebook and all Social Media.

PLEASE NOTE:
