Unfair Labor Practices - Mears - Orlando PDF Print E-mail

UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES - MEARS - ORLANDO!
A federal investigation has been launched into unfair labor practices, including driver's claims that they were unfairly singled out by Mears for taking part in a protest and strike earlier this month at City Hall. 
The cab drivers  had their tag numbers and vehicle numbers taken while protesting and later Mears suspended  or terminated the leases with those drivers.
This is illegal since Mears does not "employ" cab drivers, but they are independent contractors and therefore does not provide them with any benefits.
Mears holds a monopoly in the city of Orlando for cabs and has many complaints against them for unfair practices with their independent contractors.

Gas - Raise Prices or Add Surcharge? PDF Print E-mail

This is the question.....
We have  found through trial and error that it is much easier for your customer to understand a price increase, when you add a gas surcharge, than to up your prices.
There is good reasoning behind this.  Each year, you may have normal pricing increases and your customer understands this, but to keep increasing your pricing as the fuel is jumping.....well ...the customer will come to mistrust you as a company.
By keeping your pricing the same and simply adding a fuel charge, you can raise or lower that charge according to market fluctuation and customers will understand that!
Fuel does fluctuate, and hopefully will be on it's way down again .
