National taxi strike on December 15th

Due to the total inertia of the government, the trade union organizations and trade associations of the taxi sector, meeting today in Florence, are proclaiming a national strike for the entire day of 15 December 2026 with a demonstration in Rome. As this date approaches, three events will be scheduled for November in Milan (11 November), Naples (17 November) and Florence (25 November), to raise awareness among the authorities of the difficult state of the sector. This was announced by the taxi drivers' unions and trade associations.

The taxi is a public service that is based on pillars that are integrated and coordinated with the aim of protecting users and jobs - they explain - If these pillars are undermined by unacceptable unfair competition from some multinational and NCC platforms that violate the regulations, by auction prices and user choice practices, and finally by the explosion of management costs, then someone has decided to favor its death in favor of gigantic private interests. We don't agree with all this.

In detail, regarding Rent (Electronic Registry of NCC and taxis), we would like to point out the failure of the register to be fully operational and the serious absence of roadside checks, which leave room for illegal activity and irregular use of NCC titles. On the Electronic Service Sheet (ESF) there are repeated delays in issuing the implementing decree. A regulatory vacancy that favors unfair competition and the deregulation of public services by multinational platforms, which act in total violation of the law to the detriment of users and operators in the sector.

With regard to the high cost of fuel, there is an urgent need for an extraordinary intervention of economic support to protect public service workers with administered tariffs. The inconveniences for users are to be attributed exclusively to the Government's inertia in fully applying Law 12/2019, declare the unions. The trade union organizations and trade associations that proclaimed the strike are Agci, Ati Taxi, Associazione Tutela Legale Taxi, Claai, Consultaxi, Fast Confsal Taxi, Federtaxi Cisal, Unica Filt Cgil Taxi, Satam, Sitan, Or.s.a. Taxi, Sul Taxi, Tam, Uiltrasporti, Usb Taxi, Ugl Taxi, Unimpresa, Unione Artigiani, Uritaxi and Uti.
