Taxi drivers, members of the National Association of Taxi Transport Operators (ANPOTRT), will go on hunger strike if their demands are not settled after three days of protest, organisation head Remus Nedelcu told AGERPRES on Monday.
Taxi drivers, members of the National Association of Taxi Transport Operators (ANPOTRT), protested on Monday in the Constitution Square, requesting the issuance, as a matter of urgency, of an ordinance amending Law 204/2019 (OUG 49/2019), for the approval of Government Emergency Ordinance (OUG) No. 49/2019 on alternative transport activities by car and driver.
According to a press release from the Meridian National Trade Union Confederation, the action aims to draw the attention of the Romanian Government to the multiple requests submitted over the last seven months in an attempt to amend Law 204/2019 (OUG 49/2019), which regulates alternative transport.
