I don’t care what trade unions think. I prefer to listen to what those affected by their decisions think.
I know that is unthinkable to guys like you, who are irreversibly politically indoctrinated. So your reply is already anticipated. And by the way, I disagree. Response unnecessary. Good night.

This isn't about trade unions, Old Boy. This was a complaint raised by the Uber taxi drivers ie what "...those affected by their decisions think."
It's not beyond Uber to have a flexible working system that complies with the new ruling. Other taxi firms do.
The decision will mean more of a level playing field for small British taxi businesses. That can't be a bad thing and I speak as a pre-lockdown 1 Uber user. Uber brought innovation to the sector with their global app but that innovation can be disentangled from unfair competition and ripping contractors off.

Just an example really of the way that the law is always a bit behind technology. It catches up in the end.
