They are mobilized this Thursday to demand answers on the accessibility for them of the different Olympic sites on the day of the events.
“We don’t want to be relegated to the background.” Fabian Tosolini has fears for the future. For the representative of the Independent Union of VTC, the period of the Olympic Games could prove complicated. This Thursday, several unions in the profession are mobilized at the initiative of the ‘National Inter-union of VTC to demand better working conditions during the Paris Olympics.
For the moment VTCs do not know if they will have access to lanes dedicated to accredited vehicles like the one on the ring road. “Taxis will be entitled to this and we are asking the same thing because we will have to transport people linked to the Games as well.“, notes the union representative.
Another request from drivers and platforms: having access to “red perimeter“, an area as close as possible to the competition sites reserved for certain vehicles.”Here too, we will surely have ticket holders or VIPs on board, we must be able to leave them as close as possible to the sites“, selon Fabian Tosolini.
In search of answers, he denounces a “lack of consideration “from the authorities for VTCs.”Every time there are major events in Paris, we are called upon, during Fashion Week for example. Here, we feel excluded from the organization. No one keeps us informed of our status during the Games.”
On January 11, representatives of the platforms and drivers will meet for a meeting with Paris City Hall. “We finally hope to have concrete answers so that we can then adapt“, notes the trade unionist.
