A 24-hour (24-hour) strike has been decided for Wednesday, February 19, 2025, from 6 a.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, by the Board of Directors of the Motorists’ Union Taxi of Attica            (S.A.T.A.).

The demands of the SATA, as stated in a related announcement, are:

– Free entry of the E.D.H. Taxis in dedicated lanes (bus lanes).

– Provide a solution to the problem of project interception by companies with rental cars with drivers.

– To stop the illegal discounts – offers of Uber and Bolt that deliberately break the law (they do not observe the legal fare set by the State) and intensify unfair competition.

– Implement the amendment that prohibits the collection of the fare by any intermediary company (Law 4607/2019 Article 75).

– Correct implementation of the digital platform for the contracts of HICs and the creation of a register for rentals with a guide. Increase of the minimum contract price of E.I.X. by 33%.

– Clear and grey-zone-free separation of services provided by taxis and rental cars with driver. Only taxis provide urban transport. With a taxi, the passenger makes urban transport. With the HIC he buys time for his journey. Transport from point A to a point B is a task that belongs to the taxi.

– Repeal of the controversial provisions of the new tax law and immediate implementation of a tax-free threshold of 12000 euros.

– Removal of the compulsory registration of new taxi cars only zero-emission cars from 2026. We propose to postpone this obligation until 2035.

– Free registration of multi-seater NRVs. Taxis & 5 year old used cars.

– Elimination of airport rates.

Finally, the SATA Bureau asks for the practical support of the Panhellenic Federation in this struggle. We urge the PDOIATA and all taxi unions of the country to participate in any action in the strike mobilization of February 19.
