Taxi strike in Chicago, please say no...Just incase you had any ideas. If you attack a cab driver while he is on duty, you will be charged with a felony! Cabbies income averages a $5.77 an hour, well below minimum wage, and the average shift is 12 hours and 20 minutes. Want to raise the stepping in rate from from $2.25 to $3.
