Uber and Lyft drivers rallied outside of LaGuardia Airport on Sunday in anticipation of an airport strike which would essentially cut off cab access for travelers.
The New York Taxi Workers Alliance revealed that the app drivers plan to go on strike Sunday, Feb. 26 in protest of the rideshare companies alleged reluctance to give appropriate pay raises. This will mark the third action in an ongoing battle between the companies and the workers since a lawsuit blocked a pay hike that was set to hit workers’ wallets in December 2022.
Assembling inside the LaGuardia Airport Uber/Lyft Cell Phone Lot on 23rd Avenue and 91st Street, furious motorists brandished protest signs and chanted “Shame on Uber!” and “Stop their Greed!” alleging that the companies are taking a larger cut of passenger fares in comparison to drivers who are doing the work.“Last year when every American was struggling paying for bread and milk, which went up higher than it’s been in 40 years in our country, drivers were also struggling having to pay for gasoline and vehicle expenses, which went up 250 times more than the price of bread and milk,” Desai added.
“If they looked at all the data rather then ignoring the vast majority of months as well as incentives, bonuses and surge pricing — driver earnings are up 41.7% since 2018, Uber’s cut has declined to around 16% and government taxes and fees have exploded to make up 18% of rider payments on average,” the rep told amNewYork Metro.
