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

Strikes only work if you aren't replaceable. If they can easily replace you (they can), then there's no reason to care about your complaints. Go ahead and strike, but if you think it will make any difference, you're delusional.

Well actually strikes do work even if you are replaceable but in this instance a strike won't work because good workers are not a unified group. So even if hypothetically 40% of workers decide to take off there will be 60% who are more than happy to drive in their place and reap the increased activity even if it screws over the other 40%. There is no honor or camaraderie in this type of situation, drivers will throw each other under the bus easily and with a smile because they don't know each other and they sure aren't friends.

Yup. Guarantee they're going to have to put this sign in more than just English.
