MALLORCA TODAY - Mallorca's taxi drivers will support strike on 1 August

The 24-hour national stoppage by taxi drivers will be supported by drivers in Palma. The strike is all about deregulation that, the taxi drivers federation fears, would lead to a free for all in competition from so-called vehicles with drivers for leasing.

More on this story. Taxi driver associations in other parts of Mallorca do now look as though they will support the action as well. One further gripe that the taxis have is with another form of deregulation which will let hotels operate their own services to and from the airport, a move that also rankles with bus services on Mallorca.
