One of Britain’s biggest and most powerful unions has thrown its weight behind the Standard’s “Leading the Charge” campaign against the Mayor’s decision to start charging green cars and vans to drive into central London for the first time.
The GMB union, which has close to 600,000 members and close links with the Labour Party, has said it is “unconscionable” that private hire and delivery drivers who “did the right thing” in good faith by switching to EVs should now be liable to pay a daily congestion charge.
