Unless we do somehting to fight hard to end more new cabs, end to taxi class and revokation of some taxi licenses, We will still make $40 a day working 12 hrs daily and fare increase won't help us a thing!
this city has tooooooo many cabs on streets while there are no many riders!
most chicago cops are very biased towards cabbies and very unfair and racists.
I have been victim for chicago cop mistreatment myself too.
i called cops when passenger did not pay and cops arrived but just let the passenger go without paying.
another incidence is, i went to belmont cop headquarter to get an arrest warrant for a passenger who did not pay my fare. I had the charge sheet given to me from another police, that cop told me to go to belmont area to register arrest warrant but the cop at belmont say $15 fare is too low to register arrest warrant. i had the [passenger info from his ID left on back seat.
Any up dates on cop mistreatment to cabbie. on
Mr. Clermont case. i would love to get up ate on this you guys need to go public with stuff like this. put the police straight let them know who pays their salaries. the only bad part about even tryingto strike on the city is that some people are so hungry for money that they wont even try not to go to work for a day. thats why i say dame cabbbies unite yourself. money can come from another source. dont work for a week watch chicago fall and beg the cabbies to come back to work. Once they beg you to come back to work, you offer them a new agreement. let them know how your being treated. make a stand for your hard work.
