Can t get an Uber today? Your driver may be busy protesting.
On Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. PST, drivers are expected to protest outside Uber offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco, Business Insider reports. At issue are some of the company s practices.
In New York, Uber drivers are taking the protests a step further by going on strike and turning off their phones, BuzzFeed says.
Several groups are organizing the protests including the California App-Based Drivers Association (CADA) and Teamsters Local 986 from Southern California.
Drivers say they are protesting a range of issues, such as the company s reduction of some fares, its tipping policy and driver safety.
