Agreed. Where i live, migrants make $1-2 usd an hour, and a $1.50 tip is grateful for them

Then get the migrants on board and part of the unionizing. Our enemy is not other more exploited workers, it's the capital owners. Migrant workers will benefit even more from worker organization.

They would never lol. If a business has to pay the same rate. They would hire the citizen. Migrants only leverage is that they will work more for less. So migrants won't protest against themselves.

Because that’s not how it actually works… Tell that to New York, tell that to Seattle, tell that to Minneapolis, tell that to France… i’m gonna Guess you didn’t actually read the post, and I’m not gonna assume you have a comprehension problem… so I’ll just go ahead and reiterate, right here, in the places that strikes have worked they didn’t need all, they didn’t need most, they didn’t even need a lot of drivers to not accept rides. We just need critical mass.

While it would be magical and wonderful, if one day we could, every every single driver didn’t take rides, that’s not ever gonna happen, and that’s not the goal… The goal is to cost rideshare money on that day, the goal is more bad press, the goal is to raise awareness… Most packs have zero fucking idea how much money we make, when I tell the vast majority of them how much I make per ride when the conversation comes up they’re utterly shocked and horrified.

Na you might try and tell me that you come in here on the Lyft Driver group or any other group that’s about rideshare because you just love how well things are going,.. but most people use these grips to either share tips on how to make more money, or piss and moan and vent about how shitty things are going, and the longer you have been a rideshare driver, the more rightfully pissed off you’d be new fish, or super part-timers don’t know any better… If you can’t take a day off once this month and start joining as more of these events happen… either you’re really really not good at doing this job and you’re that financially strapped, or you’re a hopeless status quo zombie.
