All I can say is, I am pleased my employers didn't accept my notice last year.... I am very grateful to be where I am now, even if it's not where I want to be long term....  :-X
Dear James
Please see me in my office at 9 o'clock in the morning to collect your cards.
Yours sincerely

It could be worse, you could be striking over a 6% offered pay rise.

Ffs, greed and hold the public hostage, at a time of recession, swine flu and possible redundancy, to extort their employers who already pay then an arm and a leg. 38,500 a year? Did i read that correctly? From what i gather they already turn up when they feel like it..... Disgusting!

Well for 08/9 the offer was eventually 2.45%, they paid 2% in November 08 backdated to April 08 and in March added the 0.45% on backdated to April 08. For this year not sure yet, they will be negotiating and as always will probably get it in November this year, which is always the case. Also had the performance related pay increase aswell.

As a self employed cab driver....I am down about 30% on takings since last year......and its not just me...talk to other drivers and they say the same.....which is a huge drop....and tends to lead to drivers working silly hours to try to make it up....
ie I worked 16 hours last friday  ::)

The only advantage is.....the goverment will be getting far less money of us drivers this year in tax  :)

How come you're down when the cost of cabs has gone up so much?1  :-/

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Sorry to bring this back to the top, but we just got our final offer. 0.5% that is better than the 0.4% originally offered, but less than the 2% we asked for.  >:(

Not where I live they havent.....we put prices up last year.....40p on the price of the fare....when fuel prices went silly.....to try to compensate....
For example...Fri/Sat nights used to be constant trade last year every weekend.....now its once a month, on payday weekend.....so its fairly obvious people are cutting down on going out from every weekend to once a month  :(

Also account customers are cutting down on cabs...for example...we have the account for one of the biggest building societies in Swindon.....one very popular run used to be between two of their buildings.....0.5 miles apart.....now they are being told to walk unless theres a good reason to call for a cab on account  :(
