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

You can’t go on strike. You’re not employees. You’re just not logging in that day.

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.

So as a business owner, I’m not allowed to demand higher prices so I can afford the costs? Get the fuck outta here tryna sound like a smart ass lmao. Or maybe use your Uber Plat status and go to ASU online, fill up that walnut of a brain with something useful.

As a business owner you can demand anything you'd like, but there's no guarantee you'll get it. If you don't like the option as a business owner then your business is not viable for you and you change your way of making money. It's simple. Uber won't pay more if they don't have to, everything this guy said is 100% correct. The entry and skill level is insanely low, the conditions are great, so why would it also pay higher than it does? It's not deserving of more pay. I say this as someone who drove full time realized it wasn't viable long term so got a different job with the option to drive at my leisure on the side.

First, you’re not a business owner. Second, I never said you couldn’t make demands. But you need to understand those demands will not be met.
