The price cuts fricking blow. There is no reason to even drive anymore other than above a 3 surge pricing.

And they don't make any sense. Demand is the same as always.

Very frustrating.

But strike worthy? That's just dumb



Agreed. They're not union as far as I know. They can kiss their jobs goodbye. If I lived in BR, I might Uber part-time.

Not how it works. "Strike" for Uber just means that some drivers won't sign in to the app and make themselves available. Other drivers will, and will reap the benefits of higher rates due to surge pricing and more available riders.

"Striking" as independent contractors is incredibly dumb. The people proposing this have zero grasp on the real world.
