Description
From Boxun:

(星火通讯社2009年2月11日讯) 安徽省淮南市上千名出租车司机于2月5日发起罢工抗议当局投放新车。罢驶的司机于2月6日重新营运。

据悉,起因是1月16日召开的淮南市第十八次市政府常务会议决定同意《淮南市新增客运出租汽车实施方案》,当局计划半个月内分期投放300辆新出租车,而司机认为当地两千七百多辆出租车的市场已饱和,增加新车将严重影响他们的生计。

有司机认为,当局此前取缔正三轮机动车非法客运是因为与一家公司达成协定,出资买其车辆为新投入的车,所以政府与商家都得利,却损害了出租车司机的利益。同时,司机们也不满加汽困难、盈利小、公司管理过严等问题。
