“Uber and Lyft drivers are struggling as they work for billion-dollar companies,” Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Wednesday. “I stand in solidarity with them as they strike today for a dignified life.”
."Uber and Lyft wrote in their S1 filings that they think they pay drivers too much already. With the IPO, Uber's corporate owners are set to make billions, all while drivers are left in poverty and go bankrupt. That's why NYTWA members are joining the international strike to stand up to Uber greed."
Companies like Uber and Lyft say their drivers are independent contractors rather than employees, which means they don't have to adhere to requirements on health care, minimum wage, or overtime."after accounting for Uber's commissions and fees and vehicle expenses, and taking into account the cost of a modest package of health insurance and other benefits equivalent to those earned by W-2 workers.
