Gail Souter-Beck
The president of Beck Taxi is getting plaudits from civic officials, including local (Ward 22) rep Josh Matlow, for urging drivers not to participate in a strike to protest against Uber during the upcoming NBA All-Star Game in Toronto this weekend. Gail Beck-Souter (inset) wrote to drivers: “Some may want to convince you a protest that upsets this big event would help us get our message out. They are wrong. It would only hurt our valued customers and give Uber exactly what they want.” Driver have a complaint however. The City has been feeble in dealing with international mammoth as it tries to take overs taxi functions without being regulated. Cabbies have complained they can’t compete with Uber, which they say is operating illegally while they’re forced to play by the rules. Militant cabbies vow to paralyze City on NBA weekend
