Belarusian Cab Drivers Are Preparing To Go On Strike

What is known.

Information has appeared on social networks that a strike by Yandex.Taxi employees is planned in a number of countries. Drivers count kilometers, gasoline and claim that they are left with pennies in the dry balance. Belarusian drivers are also going to join the strike.

The main claim of cab drivers is that the conditions of the service, according to them, have become unprofitable and humiliating. The drivers' labor has turned into a race for orders, and due to low fares and high commission, their earnings consist of "pennies".

- Why are we going on strike? The fares do not cover the cost of fuel, car depreciation and mandatory payments. The commission of service and taxi companies takes away a significant part of earnings. Unrealistic plans for the number of trips force you to work 12-16 hours without rest. Lack of dialog with the company on issues of fair wages," the text of the petition.

Action should be held on December 15.
