Uber Drivers Go On Strike Ahead of IPO

Description

According to Reuters, Uber drivers in London and New York started a series of multi-city strikes on Wednesday to protest the disparity between gig-economy conditions and the sums that investors are likely to make in Friday’s stock market debut. Drivers and regulators around the world have long criticized the business tactics of Uber and the expected valuation of up to $90 billion in its initial public offering on Friday. The public calls for higher pay underscored that some drivers want more from the company.
