Australia: Taxi drivers plan to strike at Sydney Airport, New South Wales State, Sept. 19
Taxi drivers to strike at Sydney Airport, New South Wales State, Australia, Sept. 19. Increased demand for alternative transport possible.
Taxi drivers plan to strike at Sydney Airport (SYD) in New South Wales Sept. 19 to protest kerbside pick-up for ride-hailing services at the international terminal. The action follows a similar boycott the previous day; organizers did not specify a duration for the action and participation levels are unclear. Taxi drivers could extend the strike if their demands are not met.
The strike will likely result in reduced taxi availability at SYD. Increased demand for alternative transport, such as ride-hailing services, buses, and trains, is possible at the airport during the work stoppage. Participating drivers could also stage sporadic demonstrations as part of their action; authorities will probably deploy increased security near any gatherings that may materialize.
Confirm any taxi reservations from SYD and plan for potential reduced taxi availability. If necessary, seek alternative means of transport and make bookings in advance. Allow additional time to reach destinations during the strike. As a standard security precaution, avoid all demonstrations. Heed the instructions of authorities.
