Cab drivers met with the Greek Minister of Transport, Yannis Ragousis, on Friday, 29 July. However, the meeting proved fruitless. As the head of the Attica cab driver’s union claimed, “the Minister was open to dialogue but refused to make commitments.” The Minister announced that the deregulation of the sector will take place as planned. Consequently, cab drivers will continue the strikes which have caused problems in the tourism sector and have divided the members of the government party.
Efthymios Lyberopoulos, the head of the Attica taxi drivers’ union, said the minister was open to dialogue but fell short of making any specific commitments.
“As a result, taxi drivers will continue their strike,” Lyberopoulos said.
