The 24-hour strike, which began at midnight, aims to push Congress to pass the Protect the Right to Organize Act.
This proposed legislation would allow contractors to unionize if they chose, participating drivers said. latimes.com/business/story…

“I’m striking simply because drivers have never had the ability to negotiate with the company,” an L.A. driver said.
“They’ve never asked us how much we want to get paid. They just basically indiscriminately change rates and programs however they please.” latimes.com/business/story…

What should riders expect during the strike?
Representatives for Lyft and Uber said they do not anticipate higher fares or longer wait times. But this will depend on the volume of demand for rides and the number of drivers who participate. latimes.com/business/story…

What if I need a ride somewhere?
Consider public transit, ask someone to drive you, or call a taxi cab.
In general, it’s never a bad idea to have the phone numbers for a couple of local cab companies saved in your phone, @jessica_roy writes. latimes.com/business/story…
