Second Cab Strike Could Be In Store For New Yorkers - 09/21/07By Jesse Russell New Yorkers could be looking at another long wait for cab riders as the taxi drivers eye a second strike. Jesse Russell reports: There are varying reports of the success of the previous New York Taxi driver strike, but one thing is for sure, riders had longer wait times. The New York Daily News is reporting that the Taxi Workers Alliance could be planning a second strike before October 1. The reason quoted by the paper is that City Hall has refused to meet with the drivers since the first walk out. October 1 is the deadline for cabs to install a new Global Positioning System that will track where they go and allow for credit card use. Cabbies are calling the tracking system an invasion of privacy and are upset that they will be forced to pay an average credit card transaction fee of 5 percent.
