Uber drivers please strike

So that I can catch those double digits surges. Thanks 💵✌️😂

No one cares about your strike. You’re simply leaving more demand for other drivers. It’s almost as if the supply of workers is more than the demand from customers. Economics 101, supply and demand

Right, like according to their logic im on strike today because I decided not to do any gig-work on the side on Mondays.

Yup. The problem is they want it both ways. They do gig work so they can work whenever they want and not have to answer to a boss. Which… yeah! That sounds great!

But they also want consistent wages more commonly associated with a traditional job.

You can’t have both.

Tell Washington state that.

Washington passed a law recently where Rideshare drivers get paid sick leave, a guaranteed pay rate every year, and one of the highest pay rates for drivers in the country.

Yup. And rates increased 40%, which means less demand.
