Taxis-VTC: Uber is the mediator and écharpent on Twitter – Le Figaro

A leader Uber Europe reminded Laurent Grandguillaume what the role of a mediator in a conflict, while the latter was surprised that platforms call for the event to two days of a crucial meeting.

Two days after the end of the taxi strike, the conflict with the VTC is far from settled. But this time, it is neither one nor the other who launched hostile … but the mediator, Laurent Grandguillaume. “If one believes the definition of” mediation “, is not” a way of peaceful solution “to resolve a crisis? Unfortunately, though. The Ombudsman has already taken sides even before the mediation has started, “says one industry expert.

It all started on Saturday morning with the publication by the councilman of Dijon without a tweet clear to the attention of digital platforms:

This is not necessarily the best way to start the mediation of a conflict that has lasted more than two years. Anyway, this post has not failed to react digital platforms, “This is not what is called a mediator, says one of them. These are clearly incriminating statements. ”

The discussion continued a few hours between the member from the Gold Coast and a leader of Uber Europe. Initially, Laurent Grandguillaume is surprised by the call to protest launched by the association of drivers VTC, AMT, relayed by the Uber platforms including:

“No s’ annoys taxis decide when to strike and when it is the turn of VTC … “lamented an industry expert. It is the responsibility of Europe Uber person who responded to the Ombudsman:

“In France, members are elected by the people. Multinationals choose by mediators “

To which Lawrence replies Grandguillaume:

The exchange” muscular “is punctuated by these two statements:

Then netizens have taken over. The leader Uber Europe will in principle not present at Tuesday’s meeting between the mediator, taxis and VTC, but no doubt this rather new episode on Twitter will certainly be discussed by the actors. And the letters of formal notice sent to twenty platforms so that they achieve compliance with the law or face sanctions.

So far, the mediator had “merely” as Bernard Cazeneuve or Manuel Valls before him, to denounce the unfair competition of transport platforms. On Saturday, he decided to speak up and publicly. He even delivered a Sunday coat, reminding platforms that “it is much more than mediation, it is a fight for the regulation, to put people at the heart facing impoverishment imposed by some platforms. ” A term he used again two more times, as if to show how Uber and other Heetch are responsible for the conflict.

“We are aware of having pushed this sector and we are ready to find ways out of this crisis, the leader of a recognized platform. But I’m not sure that the method employed by the Ombudsman is good. ” Only the future will tell us.

Laurent Grandguillaume must reckon with anger taxis that have little tasted the appointment of a new mediator. “We do not want a Thévenoud 2 loose Asnoun Karim, secretary general of the CGT-Taxis. It’s been months since we discussed, the time for talking is over. They know very well what’s wrong in their law. We are no longer at the time of the mediation but of action. “” The appointment of a mediator is a “bogus decision” that allows the state to save time. The government changed the rules by liberalizing the profession. We are ready to work with VTC but it takes the game to be fair, “says Jeremy, a taxi driver. In this critical mass, the Golden Coast MP has received support in recent days, the … the former Ombudsman, Thomas Thévenoud, appointed in February 2014 by Jean-Marc Ayrault:

Le..dijonnais of birth had not had at the time about as hard against the platforms. He even allowed a selfie avec..un Uber driver.
