Photo uploaded by aquatone282
According to blogs newyorkology and engadget, the Taxi Workers Alliance is urging taxi drivers around New York City to go on strike for 24 hours starting at 5 am next Monday, October 22. There appear to be several issues at stake, including the mandatory addition of GPS units (which would monitor pick-up and drop-off points) and proposed pension funds for taxi workers.
What does this mean for you?
If you’re planning a trip to New York City during the strike, then we recommend that you plan to ride the subway or walk to attractions if you can. Fortunately, the weather forecast predicts that next Monday in NYC will be sunny with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, perfect for a stroll to admire the foliage and take in the sights and sounds of NYC!
