Cab drivers protest at Disney-area hotel

ANAHEIM – About two dozen taxi drivers marched in protest outside the Anaheim Hilton on Thursday, demanding that hotel management give equal treatment to all permitted cab drivers and allow them to pick up guests. The cab drivers chanted and held signs with slogans such as, "Say No to Corruption, Boycott Hilton."

Protesting taxi drivers claimed that while three cab companies hold franchises in the Anaheim Resort area, only Anaheim Yellow Cab Co. is being allowed to pick up guests in front of the Hilton and Marriott hotels.
