Cabbies crisis: Taxi drivers unite outside parliament in demand for better Covid-19 support TAXI drivers in Scotland are expected to unite outside the Scottish Parliament today in calls for better government support throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Dozens of drivers from Unite the union will hold a “mobile” demonstration as they argue their trade hasn’t received similar support to that of bus and rail networks. Last week, Unite Scotland released findings from a survey of over 200 drivers that showed 30% had been unable to access financial help from the government. It was also revealed 80% of taxi drivers lost up to three quarters of their usual incomes as a result of the pandemic.
