A one hour strike at one of the busiest airports on the East Coast with NO taxis available? Probably a lot.
The point is you hold a strike to STOP work, not work for less money. That's called scabbing and is the opposite of solidarity.
- icebraining 10y agoShould the company decide on behalf of the workers whether they must join a strike? Shouldn't Uber drivers be the ones to make that decision?
- sundaeofshock 10y agoDrivers are only allowed to turn down a limited number of rides before they are no longer allowed to be uber drivers for the day.
- icebraining 10y agoIt was an one hour strike. Surely they could have driven far from the airport (to avoid getting tagged by the algorithm) for that time.
- loeg 10y agoCan't they just turn off the app for an hour?
- bmpafa 10y agoI think this sort of protest requires organization. Uber's surge pricing (which I assume drivers didn't know would be suspended in time to plan a protest) basically guarantees seamless scabbing, so the opportunity cost of the protest becomes unreasonable.
