I'm not sure I get it, how can Uber drivers strike, beyond not accepting rides, not logging into the app, etc.? They can do it right now, so what exactly "right to strike" means?

The right to strike refers to protections given to employees to collectively act without fear of punishment, which is part of the NLRA[0]. Since these are contractors, they are afforded no such protection. 0: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/nlra-and-the-right-to-strike https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-right...

  Is there a punishment in Uber for not logging in into the app?

    If someone goes a sufficiently long time without using the app they'll get better offers to entice them to return. So if anything the reverse is true.

      I'm not sure if there's a different effect short term.

      So in a way, Uber is encouraging strikes right now, even if unwittingly?
