Dear Sir /Mdm ,
My name is xxxxxxx ,a taxi driver in your company as I was driving your cab recently I was spotted wearing sandals as my leg was swollen I had no choice but to cover the rental I kept driving even when I am sick but it was unfortunate that I was spotted but why do they have to terminate me without even counseling or getting a reason from me for my fault even when I was caught twice at both times I was sick though the 1st time I came to explain to them they gave a warning but my leg was still swollen that day as I cant walk wearing a shoe ,isnt there any sympathy or consideration of my service to comfort for driving for more then 15 years ,isnt there any consideration as a sole bread winner providing for my 3 school going children of on how n where should my family get their next meal?I mean your men could be doing their job of spotting bad drivers but isnt there any system as on how to handle bad drivers such as giving point systems such as driver beating a red light also were give time to change their behaviour to and points to avoid another mistake and why cant you implement this kind of system and avoid the immediate and drastic action as to cause ones job n rice bowl for a minor fault .xxxxxx

This is email I mailed to them and a comfort officer called me and ask to provide proof (mc) then will give me back the job .Is this how a first class transport co behaves.

Honestly, if you already have MC or have long term evidence that you have diabetics or other illness which always cause your feet to swell, (you can ask your doctor to write it down for you), you surely have a case.

If not, I think it is better for you to think carefully whether it is worthwhile fighting CDG. They pride themselves in maintaining their standards (and of course not perfect one as it is).

From what I know, the dress code is not only imposed on CDG but also on all taxi companies by LTA. So, if you can appeal to your MP to waive this and allow you to drive on medical grounds, you can go on being a cab driver. If not, I doubt there is further recourse for you. Good luck.

I ve got medical report of long time illness as u said diabetic n other illness hopefully they will reconsider this ,as i do feel so rejected by comfort has done i do wish to get other companies but there seems a limited no of taxis in my area n they have the upper hand at it with so many choices just feel that driving with this co dosnt worth the effort compared with other co as do see often drivers wearing t-shirts n slippers to drive n not much worry for them.
