Cabdrivers protest Monday at Washington Square in Salt Lake City. Starting Saturday, the number of taxis permitted in the staging area at the airport will drop from 40 to 25, which drivers say will hurt their livelihoods. Taxi driver Jeff Jex, who organized the protest, said, "There's already not enough work."
