Taxi cab owners have decided to hold a 48-hour strike starting on Monday, in opposition to government attempts to fully liberalise their profession and lift all restrictions to the number of taxi licences issued.

The strike will begin at 5:00 a.m. on Monday and last until 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

Taxi cab owners have also warned that they are prepared to go on an indefinite strike if the government does not back down.
