    Of course I mean drivers; that’s what this thread is about!

    If people stop using the service, those drivers will have to find new jobs. Boycotting the services does nothing to help them find a new job; if it’s successful, a boycott just takes away the drivers’ choice to keep the job they have. Obviously they want to keep their jobs, or they’d just quit instead of striking.

      They’re striking for higher wages, I doubt any of them care about the specific work.

      If a company is unable to pay their employees a livable wage they shouldn’t exist. And IMO the “gig economy” takes away the bargaining power of workers, these companies exist purely as middlemen to extract profit on transactions. They’re leeches on society, just another solution looking for a made up problem.

        I never said they cared about their specific jobs. I said they want to keep the jobs they have. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but looking for work totally sucks.
