Uber And Lyft Drivers Across The Country Are Striking Today

Uber And Lyft Drivers Across The Country Are Striking Today Jalopnik 4 hrs ago © Image: Richard Vogel/AP (AP) Ride-hailing drivers across the country are striking today. After a record number of drivers left their positions creating a driver shortage, the ones that remain are fed up. As The Guardian reports, drivers are striking over working conditions, better pay, and protection under the Pro Act. Passed in the House and endorsed by President Biden, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act or Pro Act is a piece of legislation aimed at protecting the rights of workers to organize. It would overturn large parts of the Taft-Hartley Act which, when it was passed in 1947, became the largest piece of anti-union legislation in U.S. history. From The Guardian:

Uber and Lyft drivers join day-long strike over working conditions

The workers are calling for better wages and congressional support of the Pro Act, a bill that would provide protections for workers who attempt to unionize, including members of the gig economy. The bill has stalled indefinitely after passing in the US House in March. “App-based workers are fed up with exploitation from big tech companies,” said Eve Aruguete a driver from Oakland and member of organizing group Rideshare Drivers United. “Misclassification is like concrete, keeping us underground. The Pro Act is the jackhammer that will break that concrete apart, allowing app-based workers to organize.”
