In labor news, thousands of Uber drivers in New York City led a 24-hour strike Monday after the ride-hailing corporation blocked pay raises the drivers were scheduled to receive this month. This is Ibrahim Gory, a Lyft and Uber driver and a member of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance.
Ibrahim Gory: “We should be able to spend time with our families, get vacation with our kids, because you go out there every single day to make that happen. We want to take our kids to college, give them the education they need in the near future. That’s why this fight is for us, for all drivers across the country.”
