We break down what the drivers are asking for and how you can support the movement.
Despite the fact that ride-share giant Uber was founded only 10 years ago, it’s hard to conceive of a life without being able to call a car from your phone. But in spite of our collective reliance on ride-sharing, drivers for Uber and Lyft are asking that you refrain from using the app for the time being. They’re striking, and the protest over pay and conditions kicked off early today, May 8th.
Ten cities across the country and several international locations are holding actions this Wednesday, including demands that customers log off of their apps for 24 hours to show support for those striking.
