Instead of a gesture, Uber chose to allow immigrants from the countries in question to keep earning money. Uber made it easy for protesters to get around the police blockade of the AirTrain.
There were no ideal options on the table. Joining the strike would have meant hurting a sizable number of immigrants and hurting the protests.
- rosser 10y agoDid you miss that the strike was only against picking up fares at the airport?
- Kalium 10y agoNo. I'm just struggling to imagine why anyone thought Uber would join this and why nobody seems to care about Lyft.
- CodeWriter23 10y agoIt's not about joining. It's about Uber intervening by turning off an automated feature of their platform. People are pissed about that. Not me, but people. Me, I'm driving Lyft for a stint and enjoying non-stop ride requests.
