Oaxaca is a city with many protests and strikes. My collaborator explained to me that the University regularly shuts down on random days near the time of the contract negotiations with all seven unions.
Today, the taxi drivers are unhappy because the government doesn't crack down on illegal taxis. So, in order to make the government listen, they are protesting by stopping their cabs in the middle of every intersection in the downtown area. It is very surreal.
