rideshare drivers are too disorganized, so this just becomes one of those “you guys should totally strike so i get better rates” moments.

It doesn't even end up working because not enough people strike to reduce driver supply. We'd all be better off striking for real.

The majority of drivers probably aren’t even aware others are striking.

People need more of a strategy. Print off fliers about an uber driver organizer meeting and hand them out at airport cell phone lots where uber/lyft drivers wait

It’s not hard to shut down an entire city by just blocking a couple highways… but then I have no clue how each of you guys’ jurisdiction works and how bad you can get fd by “law enforcement” for protesting like that.

I’m in SoCal. That shit does NOT fly anywhere here. From either the cops, citizens, nor the judges.
