We can conclude from the social media that trade unions and the employers' organization are far from settled. According to Meindert Gorter, the driver idleness was caused by the problem of no living wage and the arrogant attitude of employers within the Taxi and Care Transport sector. Various political parties are also calling the employers to order. The parties drew attention to the poor payment of the drivers. “A starvation wage,” the minister admitted. He himself rode in a taxi van. The driver told the Minister that he gets twelve euros per hour. The water is up to her lips.
