Boycott Addison Lee

4/ exploits the 99% to make his money - his workers are "self-employed" but have to pay Griffin large amounts of money whether they get any passengers or not - thus moving the risk from the very rich Griffin to his low waged workers.
5/ he avoids paying holiday or other normal benefits to his low waged "self-employed"workers,
6/ he avoids paying employers NI for these "self-employed"- thus avoiding tax,

Just FYI - all of these are completely standard practice for pretty much ALL minicab firms as well as many other businesses.

I am pretty sure there is a thread on it but there isn't anything wrong with tax avoidance; it's tax evasion that's evil.
Otherwise any of us saving in an ISA/pension are somehow evil for avoiding tax on our interest income/capital appreciation.

Obviously I feel bad for anyone who is forced to take an AL job without what you might consider "normal" benefits but that is the problem with a weak economy. You have far more demand for jobs than supply so an employer can offer a worse deal to his employees (or not even employ them as in this case!).
