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.
