Driver strike on May 8th - Are you participating?

I normally dont work Wednesday so I am not planning on going out. I never chased the surge when it was good and I dont do it now. If I get it great if not I wasnt depending on ot so no big deal. I learned from beginning Uber & Lyft giveth and the taketh away:) You cant miss what you didnt get in the 1st place. When multiplier was around great for 1st 2 months. After that I could be sitting smack in the middle of the heat map. Uber woukd try to  send me request far away with no surge. There are nights without I wouldve done terrible but it helped. I just dont count on it. It took me awhile but after researching, trial, and error I found my area and time. I did have help & someone who pointed me in the right direction. Gave me some confidence to drive where I wouldve never driven before:) I've done healthcare all my life this was definitely new to me. I enjoy just like to see a few changes. Dont we all. 

Sure. I will participate. We have flexible days and hours.  Why not? Even if it is a small blip on Uber’s radar, it still is a blip  

It’ll be hard to resist if many drivers strike and there are surges all over the place...

Absodoodlutely I am. Screw these investors and their demands for less driver pay and quicker AV evolution.

I wasn't planning to work on Wednesday anyways, but I do make a point to not drive that day. I want to see what happens. It always feels good to stick it to the big guy.

Now that it's over, does anyone know how it went?

Yes!! Of course!

I'm In! Gonna spend my day catching up on my netflix shows :)

I will not work today , Wednesday, May 8th, 2019, on behalf of my fellow Uber workers and their families! Thank You To All Of You ! 

Does this affect the consumers/ riders?
