The New York Taxi Workers Alliance is threatening a strike over lockouts from Uber and Lyft, highlighting the struggle for driver rights amidst regulatory tensions.
According to Bhairavi Desai, the NYTWA's leader, drivers will strike if regulatory actions aren't taken to address their exclusion from rideshare apps, impacting their livelihoods.
NYTWA claims the city's recent agreement with rideshare companies is nonbinding and inadequate, arguing it violates antitrust laws by limiting drivers' abilities to work.
Uber and Lyft's lockouts are a response to compliance with the Taxi & Limousine Commission's utilization rate rule, forcing many drivers offline and affecting earnings.
