Protecting the rights of DC Cab Drivers
 
 
 
 

ALERTS

DCPTDA has left no stone unturned in our struggle to protect the rights of DC taxicab drivers.  We filed lawsuit, organized strikes, lobbied DC City Council members, published our situation through the media, both Radio and Printed media.  We will continue to do all that is necessary to achieve our goal of making the DC Taxicab Industry great means of transportation for the riding public and a profitable and decent working condition for the drivers.

 

Since the majority of the DC Taxicab Drivers leave in the surrounding area, we have written letters about our situations to the regional representatives in the US Senate.

 

We are very happy to report to you that Senator Benjamin L. Cardin has responded, by asking Senator Daniel K. Akaka. Senator from Hawaii and Chairman of The Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia, to investigate about the questions we wanted to get answers to.  We are also happy about the large number of our colleagues, who have written to or called their respective representatives.  Please keep doing that and tell your fellow DC Cab Drivers who haven’t done that, to call or write to their representatives.  At the same time we have make sure that call and or write Senator Benjamin L. Cardin for responding the way he did.  After all that is what we ask of our representatives.  Contrary to our Mayor it is great to know that there are some who listen to the people who put them in their respective offices, and we are grateful for that.
