Reminder to not use lyft or uber today. Support the strike. I for one will be taking the train like I used to in the late 1940s

Standing with Uber & Lyft drivers today as they fight back for what they deserve. These women & men use their own cars and pay for gas, insurance & maintenance out of their own pockets. They need to be compensated accordingly. #UberLyftStrike

✊🏼🚨Global Uber/Lyft Strike Today. Uber drivers don’t have
even the most basic workers’ rights. Billions go the bosses while the
drivers get poverty pay. DO NOT take an Uber or a Lyft today. Walk, take a
bus, carpool w/ a friend, scuba in a canal. #UberLyftStrike
#UberStrike🚨✊🏼

KNOW BETTER. Support the strike! Make bad small talk with fire hydrants
instead! https://t.co/aYTMDZNfxi

Dear people annoyed bc the Uber/Lyft strike has inconvenienced them and think that now is the time to lecture gig workers about how they're getting shafted: THEY KNOW. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ON STRIKE. Jfc.
