Today about 75 Nashville, Tennessee cab drivers held a press conference on the front steps of city hall demanding the mayor hold public hearings investigating driver conditions. The drivers called a 12 hour general strike of all cabs. The mayor, who had declined to meet with them for the last 7 months, agreed to meet with the drivers tomorrow. Members of SEIU L205, NAACP, the United Steelworkers, and Jobs with Justice attended in solidarity.
