Labor conditions at the ride-hailing app have come under legal scrutiny in several states in past months. Black car and SUV drivers were also unhappy that the app forced them to accept lower-priced rides. Last year, another group of New York-based drivers protested after a summer discount cut significantly into their earnings, BuzzFeed News reported. This is not the first group of drivers rallying against Uber. Here are the drivers’ demands, according to their Facebook page:Ī 60 percent fare increase for UberX, the cheapest private car offeredĪ $7 minimum fare, which varies across citiesĪ $7 cancellation fee (the cancellation fee for an UberX currently is $5) on Sunday, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The group, which calls itself Uber Freedom, has called for a strike beginning at 5 p.m.
Now, a faction of discontented Uber drivers across the nation has mobilized – though just how much riders will be affected remains to be seen. Hearing your Uber driver complain about the app is nothing unusual, whether it’s about taking a recommended, more time-consuming route, or contending with low demand in local areas.
