Is there a war ......................... or would some just like encouraging conflict so neither organisation focused on the activity of individuals.
As far as representing the Taxi Trade ................ I can't remember anything about exclusivity to members on anything other than benefits.
My own experience is that everything I had worked towards benefited the whole trade .................... more ranks, tariff increases etc .................. however what I would agree with is the fact that the decisions about what activities were undertaken were made by the members who were present at the meeting called to discuss the issues.
To quote Mr Flanagan ................ "decisions are made by those that turn up" ....................... if you want a union or association to undertake anything on your behalf then join and make your proposals ........................ representative groups are not mind readers YOU NEED TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO
