Workers choosing not to work is a strike. Infrastructure owners choosing not to let workers work is something else.

  Since Uber actively works against their drivers' collective organization and intentionally atomizes their labor force, a coordinated action for all drivers is only feasible in the context of Uber suspending service. If individual drivers chose not to service JFK, that was their decision and we can respect them for it. There were, however, Uber drivers breaking the strike and that reflects on Uber accordingly.

    Can't modern drivers organize with a Facebook group or something? Or do Uber hire corporate spies to collect names and ban everyone?
