On
23 February transport union leaders gathered in Prague. They opposed a
new law raising taxes on benefits that are already part of work
contracts. Lubos Pomajbík, president of the Transport Workers' Union,
announced a strike planned for 1 March between 4 and 9 AM. Trains
nationwide will come to a halt. Prague Transit workers were still
discussing about whether to join in, a move that would affect morning
commuters on trams and the metro.
