Taxi scrappage scheme

We note the work done to set up our campaign for a scrappage scheme for London taxis.

We resolve to step up this campaign, and therefore instruct the General Secretary to:

1. produce a window sticker for display in taxis promoting this campaign
2. liaise with our London Taxi Drivers’ branch to hold a protest
3. ask members to lobby their MPs to support our Parliamentary group’s Early Day Motion on this issue
4. pursue appropriate organisations that campaign on environmental and/or public
   transport issues, asking for their support for this demand

From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow

As part of the RMT campaign to have a scrappage scheme introduced for taxis in order to alleviate the impact of vehicle age limits on our members livelihoods, RMT have launched an e-petition.

RMT members are encouraged to sign this petition by visiting: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/35894
