If this doesn't beat all. Here is Ms. Desai, our aspiring fearless leader leading from behind. Objecting to Bill deBlasio,s promise to fire taxi czar David Yassky. Ms. Desai is the same one who suddenly endorsed Mike Bloomberg's taxi industry destruction plan after opposing it along with every conscious taxi driver and taxi medallion honcho. Ms. Desai was promised something, that's a bet.
My personal bet is she was promised or sort of almost promised the administration of the yet unborn taxi benefit plan. At six cents a trip it won't buy much in benefits, probably stuff like email reminders to go get drug tested, maybe a scholarship for one or two deserving taxi drivers' kids. What it will do is support a nice little office rental and a staff maybe of worthy ex taxi drivers.
So I am guessing the six cent plan will get born before deBlasio gets sworn in as mayor. Then we shall learn who the lucky fund administrator will be.
As for organizing a taxi driver union may I suggest visiting some taxi garages and maybe an airport taxilot with some signs and banners enumerating the rights the unikn is ready to go to the mat for right now. Why with taxi drivrr best buddy still in charge you might be able to make something happen! Like get the asbestos out of the JFK drivers restroom.
