French taxi strikes set to strike on Monday
Briefly

Unions representing French taxi drivers have organized nationwide protests amid a fare dispute with the government over medical transport pricing. This ongoing conflict has been marked by numerous strikes, protests, and disruptive actions, such as roadblocks at airports. The demonstrations are expected to draw significant participation in key locations, particularly Paris and Pau, where taxi drivers will challenge local regulations and the perceived unfair advantage that digital Uber-like platforms enjoy in the industry. On May 19th, drivers plan to block roads and cease hospital transport services for most patients.
Taxi unions representing French drivers are gearing up for national demonstrations against changes to the fare structure for medical transport, expected to be particularly strong in Paris.
Amidst ongoing protests and strike actions, taxi drivers are unhappy with the perceived leniency towards VTC operators like Uber, leading to a volatile standoff with the government.
