People can’t live like this. 60 hour work weeks, rate cuts, insurmountable debt, and random deactivations are devastating the livelihoods of Uber and Lyft drivers across the globe. 

But as Uber goes public this month to rake in unearned millions for its investors, hard-working drivers, are going on an all-out strike. 

For years, ride-hailing apps have swindled drivers out of living wages and job security. What better time for drivers to show these companies what their labor is worth. This month, Uber hits the stock market. It’s time for us to have their backs.  

It's time to call a taxi: Gig workers, unions, and even the NY Taxi Workers Alliance are signing out of Uber and Lyft on May 8th with protests planned in major cities from Los Angeles to London. 

Uber’s bending of the law and mistreatment of workers won’t stand. After learning how Uber hires expensive lobbyists to influence politicians, classifies drivers as contractors to avoid proper treatment, and forces workers to listen to anti-union propaganda, members like you launched the why everybody hates Uber website to track the company’s behavior.  

Uber’s IPO in the spotlight means we have an amazing chance to amplify all drivers’ demands for fair pay. 

As the strike commences this Wednesday, we need to make sure Uber and Lyft executives know we stand with those fighting for their fair share.
