MALLORCA TODAY - Taxi drivers' strike of 1 August is called off

The national strike of taxi drivers, which was to have been supported by drivers in Palma and quite possibly elsewhere in Mallorca, has been called off. The strike, which was called on account of concerns regarding de-regulation that would have seen an increase in so-called vehicles with drivers, has been averted following talks with the transport ministry on the scale of this de-regulation.
