(ANSA) - Rome, February 21 - Taxi drivers were on strike for
the sixth consecutive day in Rome on Tuesday, when cab drivers
from across the country will be attending a demonstration in
front of the Lower House, in Piazza Montecitorio.
The House on Tuesday is scheduled to start discussing an
amendment regarding the sector, which the taxi drivers say would
lead to wider use of Uber.
Piazza Montecitorio was already packed with protesters early
on Tuesday morning, with participants carrying banners including
one reading, 'the taxi public service is not on sale'.
Representatives of taxi drivers' unions are scheduled to meet
with Transport Minister Graziano Delrio later on Tuesday.
