I think instead of commending Lyft for what could be seen as marketing (they also did not stand in solidarity with the JFK strike, we should be discussing ways that ride-sharing technology can be used to support unionized drivers. I admittedly don't know much about the details, but apps like Curb http://gocurb.com/ http://gocurb.com/ at least claim to be working with licensed cabbies. I'd love more information on alternatives to the big ride-sharing apps that are more overtly focused on workers rights, instead of calling a fleet of contractors "disruptive."
