Welcome to Our Website

 The GMB,one of the largest Trade Unions in the UK with over 650,000 members, has had a Taxi & Private Hire Section for many years and our Union is proud to represent licensed drivers. It is the GMB's belief that drivers are the industry and therefore it should be drivers who decide policy for their industry. The GMB supports its members both locally and nationally by representing its members in negotiations with local authorities and central government. It was decided at the outset that the unification of both sides of the industry with clear demarcation lines, such as our union opposing markets forces and supporting limitation of Hackney Plates was a must if our industry was to survive whilst providing a sustainable living for all our members.

Within our Regional Branch Structure we offer day to day support for licensed drivers, from officers working within our industry. As National stake-holders with the DfT the GMB Professional Drivers Section are consulted on all Government policies affecting our membership, and with our GMB political officers we are able to access politicians to present our members views.

We do hope you enjoy our web site and hope you consider joining our UNION. Please check out our member benefits page regularly as we often have offers where your membership fee can be saved by taking up these special deals .
