This is about tax and pensions. If you are in work or in business you pay your tax and NI. App " enablers" want to have no responsibility for the long term future of their workers. The cab drivers work for the app company. If they were plying their trade as genuine independents then they would have their own apps and would advertise themselves. No one wants to pay tax and NI but they all want a state pension. As for the bright young things who don't value black cab drivers, suck on this:- The public carriage office was started to regulate fares, safety ( personal and mechanical), and the driver's knowledge. The Victorians ( ie the ultimate free marketeers) gave us this not because they were enthusiasts for regulation, but because it was socially necessary. App agencies or enablers can get used to paying proper wages etc or get lost. The tax and pension thing is coming to everyone really fast - because it needs to do so. HMRC are driving it as much as the Unions are.
