We want private hire drivers to get PPE from operators they work for.
PCO Driver union believe that the private hire drivers sector has been really let down by the industry. We want all PCO drivers in the UK to be supported by all operators as they do a very key job to keep the UK moving.
Very sadly Since the Covid19 situation we have lost to date 10 hard working private hire drivers to Covid19, we know it's really hard to keep social distance in a vehicle so we want parliament to make sure TFL and other county/council operators help and give more support with either PPE or a small grant were drivera can purchase themselves. Our PCO drivers are all on the frontline and because they are self employed alot have no other option but to work. Please help
