Uber Given a Two Week Extension To Their Expired Extension
Yes, you read that right....as someone once said..."you couldn't make it up!"
Amazingly the only sounds coming from our saviours about this continuing saga, the one with the million pound war chest (what ever that is) is "it was all our work"...
Should go down well at the next meeting of the New United Trade (NUT) group.
As most are aware, Uber 4 month licence extension to operate expired at Midnight earlier today.
No operator can operate without a current licence, which would have made every job dispatched to a Uber drivers illegal and therefore uninsured.
The fact that Uber have appealed counts for nothing as previously stated its illegal to operate without a licence.
So, the nice friendly people at TfL, behind close doors -presumably- and without announcement to the Private Hire or Taxi trade, have extended Uber's current extension by another fortnight.
And will probably continue to issue extensions until the legal appeal has been heard, however long that may be.
So if your licence was held up in the renewal stage, and you were told you couldn't work, it may be a good idea to seek compensation through the court as it looks like you were discriminated against. The Prime Minister herself said she wants to see a level playing field, so if it's level for Uber to carry on with unlimited numbers of temporary extensions, then surely it's leve for us to expect the same.
Even if you didn't have you're DBS certificate back to pass on, this shouldn't matter as currently Uber have 13,000 drivers with fake DBS certificates that TfL have known about since January and they have been allowed to carry on working as Minicab drivers on the Uber platform.
This appeared on the TfL website earlier.
