Uber And Lyft Strike Explained

Description

On Wednesday Uber and Lyft drivers around the world are planning work stoppages and demonstrations to demand higher wages from the ride-hailing companies ahead of Uber's massive initial public offering. Protests are scheduled for at least 14 cities worldwide, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Glasgow, and more. Organizing groups are also encouraging consumers to join in their movement by not requesting rides. Business Insider has spoken to dozens of Uber and Lyft drivers in previous months to learn more about their experience on the platforms. More often than not, their complaints revolve around a lack of transparency from the companies, and in many cases, consistently declining pay.

Lyft's service won't be a consumer-facing platform like Uber's business. Uber's growing delivery division has been a bonus to the company's business during the pandemic.
