Taxi drivers call general strike Wed Nov 24

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 18 - Italy's taxi drivers on Thursday called a general strike for next Wednesday, November 24, saying the government's competition bill introduces deregulation favouring multinationals against small independent drivers.
    The protest will culminate in a march in Rome featuring drivers from all over Italy.
    Taxis at Rome's Termini rail station will bear a QR code explaining the reasons for the action.
    All taxis will have a leaflet attached inside saying "I'm striking because I'm defending my job against those who would like to destroy a public service, 40,000 companies and 40,000 families".
    Taxi drivers have taken action against sector deregulation plans on several occasions in the past few years. (ANSA).
