Thousands of U.S. ride-hailing workers plan to park their cars and picket at major U.S. airports Wednesday in what organizers say is their largest strike yet in a drive for better pay and benefits.
Uber and Lyft drivers plan daylong strikes in Chicago; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Miami; Orlando and Tampa, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Austin, Texas; and Providence, Rhode Island. Drivers also plan to hold midday demonstrations at airports in those cities, according to Justice for App Workers, the group organizing the effort.
What would actually happen is shitty taxis would come back and most places in the US would lose the ability to get ad hoc transportation.
So be it. If you don’t fight for it you don’t get it. No amount of striking will make uber profitable and their employee’s paid a living wage. End of story.
