At 58, José (*) Parisian taxi craftsman for 23 years is on strike. His car remains in the garage on Thursday, however, he did not join his colleagues in the field. He did not support acts of violence as stone throw from foreign customers in the back of a VTC with their baby or the black sedan returned Porte Maillot. Strong images he saw on television. “We must remain calm and zen otherwise it will fall on us,” said Jose.
This is nevertheless very recovered against unfair competition from VTC, especially UberPop. “They come loaded before our noses. Last week I was waiting in the queue of taxis at the station since Montaigne half an hour, came to take three VTC clients and we would have to be silent laments Jose. In Marseille, the VTC would not be left as “
Another fact that bristles Jose and his colleagues. The presence of illegal drivers who are soliciting at airports while it is prohibited. “Friday morning 19 June, one of our colleagues wanted to film a clandestine driver recidivist, was arrested the police telling him that it was not up to her to do that. We protested in solidarity as this is happening before our eyes . On the video even our colleague claimed they saw the Underground give to the police post “.
“In hotels we do not have the right to solicit customers, UberPop go into the hall and quietly say taxi?” Says Jose.
But José admits if we got to this situation is that some of his colleagues have done everything. “By refusing races too close, speaking evil of the client or proposing dirty cars or cramped, some have sawed off the branch on which we were sitting. I am but to defend our profession that we have to make the maximum for the client, “he concludes.
