THREAD: here are important reasons to support the #UberLyftStrike today. uber and lyft profit depends on perpetually sinking driver wages until either the arrival of driverless cars or the erosion/continued lack of public transportation. that’s not a winning scenario for us.
what do dropping rates per mile mean for drivers? longer hours on the road for less money #UberLyftStrike #UberShutDown #UberStrike #LyftStrike thestranger.com/slog/2017/12/2… 
uber/lyft claim that they’re merely a platform for contractors, *not* employers obligated to provide drivers protections/benefits. as @Econ_Marshall explains, if that’s true then uber/lyft are actually violating antitrust law by “price-fixing” millions of rides 🤔 #UberLyftStrike
