As the number of licensed private hire drivers and vehicles soar, licensing authorities all over the UK are getting tough on enforcement against private hire drivers like we’ve never seen before.
You need the assurance of good legal assistance through an appeals process and the Magistrates Court if you have been wrongly accused.
ADCU has teamed up with a major law firm to ensure you have expert support at your time of need. Your badge is your livelihood, protect it by joining ADCU today.
Remember, we can’t help with pre-existing problems so join today to avoid disappointment tomorrow.
The private hire industry is undergoing dramatic change with the rise of app-based operators, new technology, electric vehicles, road pricing (for congestion, clean air and other user charges), tough new air quality standards.
Too often, private hire drivers are the last ones to the negotiating table so licensing authorities place too much of the burden on us.
In recent years, our ADCU founders have made massive gains through effective representation and action. Join us today and strengthen your voice and protect your livelihood.
ADCU is the only truly independent trade union representative 100% dedicated to you and to the industry we share. No hidden agendas, no distractions, no competing objectives:
Fair treatment for every driver – from operators, licensing authorities and police.
Fighting for better conditions for all couriers, fast food delivery drivers

You will: create engaging and compelling content for social media, schedule and post content across all platforms (including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), help to share what local branches of ADCU does with local press or radio, share your ideas for how we can improve brand engagement through social media.
