If a person received a letter from the managing agent of a railway station requesting that they attend a committee meeting to answer an allegation of wrongdoing,should they be given the opportunity to bring along a relative,friend,or union representative? if the letter does not offer this could it be construed as illegal and therefore a reason to not attend.should the person write back and say they would like to receive another letter offering this facility or just not go.

I take it this concerns station permits?

If someone is being asked to appear before a committee they should tell the person asking that they will be bringing a representative.

Also I would take a mini tape recorder and not tell them. Might not be ethical, but I would still do it. :wink:

To this you mean the managing agents in this case are York Stn taxis, they set their own standards, hey, they are entitled to do this, the permit contract was signed, they set their own laws, English law doesn't come into the equation, thats out the window with this lot, you will find you will not be able/or given the oppertunity to bring, ring a friend or even have a solicitor at your side whilst under stn taxis kangeroo court system, it may be illegal what they do but they get away with it, time will tell when if it isn't the case where one driver is bringing legal action or trying to, but it seems it down to the rank permit conditions you signed, the taxi drivers who signed for the rank permits have signed their human rights away

how come that one driver who had a argument up with a driver of a private car, nothing to do with stn taxis, but was hauled up to stn taxi court system and banned from working cos it brought disrepute to stn taxis

One of the Turkish drivers who works the stn rank as it was reported,that he carved up a York Stn Taxi driver, by getting in front of the stn driver and getting into the station rank before him, sentence, banned from the rank

The driver who urinated as alleged in the railway car park, and was banned from the rank, suffers from Diabetes, when he had to go for a pee, he had a pee, he had to, he couldn't make it to the railway toilets so far away

It has now come out that GNER have nothing on this incident, it was another taxi driver, not a train driver, that reported him to stn taxis

I also hear that York Stn taxis want details on applying for stn permit want full details names and addresses of plate owners that rent out the plate for their database, those who don't drive taxis but own the plate, to go down on the list on their computers

you couldn't make this up, could you??

It was definitley a train driver who reported him,but when the YTA asked to see the c.c.t.v. footage that they claimed they had, it had disappeared, then they said the police were going to prosecute if they did not remove his permit again the police knew nothing about this, and guess what GNER knew nothing about any of it so the YTA must be the best £5 a year you can spend as the driver is now back in.
