Athens taxi drivers to strike on Monday

Athens taxi drivers will be off the streets on Monday, according to an announcement from their union, SATA.

The 24-hour strike will begin at 5 a.m. on Monday and end at 5 a.m. on Tuesday.

SATA is protesting new tax and insurance laws, as well as the planned transition to electric vehicles starting in 2026, which taxi drivers say will threaten their profession.
