On the day of Wednesday November 24 2021 also Napoli will be involved in the national strike of taxi drivers proclaimed by many trade unions.
The strike will last from 8.00 am to 22.00 pm and many inconveniences could arise for users who use taxis to move frequently and also for tourists who will find themselves in the city.
The reason for the strike is the protest against the Competition bill which puts at risk the activity of taxi drivers who are also worried about the activities of multinationals and ask the government to intervene.
Free rides for vulnerable groups: how to do it
The taxi drivers of Naples assure that, during the strike, some rides will be insured. Specifically, those for the weaker groups, ie i Disabled and those who they have to go to the hospital.
To be able to use it, you need to call the following numbers: 081/8888, 081/2222, 081/0101, 081/6969.
What the Competition Bill provides
The Competition bill opens the doors to other subjects operating in the sector and taxi drivers are mainly concerned about Uber e similar companies. The bill welcomes the market of apps and technological platforms for booking cars for travel, just like Uber, and the taxi drivers' request is to cancel the rule that provides for these innovations.
La threat is to proclaim all-out strikes.
