Not all, they were kicked out from Hungary - although that was less a victory of workers’ rights rather than that of the taxi driver union.
Every argument in this thread is basically taxi protectionism.
I mean, I see you personally talking about taxis a lot
I don’t like protectionism.
Kinda just sound like a conspiracy nut finding arguments where there are none with people who are just talking about the article
