Dear Members,

Greetings. I hope this note finds you in happy and healthy spirit.

We are pleased to announce that TLC Chairperson David Yassky will be joining us at the LaGuardia Airport Main Lot to meet with drivers. Please join us and speak directly with Chairman Yassky about issues that are most important to you.

MEET & GREET WITH TLC CHAIRMAN DAVID YASSKY
Tuesday, July 20th
10:00am
LaGuardia Airport, Main Lot

• How much is your lease? How many hours do you work in your shift to cover the lease? The garages put in a proposal to raise the lease caps – what would you do if you were Chairman Yassky?
• Why do you think the 5% is unfair?
• How is the fifty cent tax affecting your tips and short trips?
• Is the dispatcher requiring a bribe?
• Between lease overcharges and bribes, how much are you losing per week?
• Hotel doormen still a problem?
• What is your suggestion for stopping illegal pick ups?
• What do your passengers think of the Taxi TVs? The technology contracts are up this September.
• Do you have healthcare? When is the last time you went on vacation with your family on your income?

We all know the issues. Let the head industry regulator know your solutions. Park in the lot and use your time fighting for driver power!

Warmly,

Bhairavi Desai, Executive Director
on behalf of Organizing Committee and Staff
