Not gonna happen

 

I was just letting you guys (all 20-50 LA drivers that come here) know about this opportunity. Maybe one of you, or someone that reads this will have a brilliant idea to get this message to everyone. How? Pfft, if I knew I would be telling you! Lol. Did we ever get enough donations for that LAX billboard??! Now we know what to put on it; no LAX pickups!


Idk if this could actually happen. But I could clearly imagine it happening in my mind, and then I read your prompt response, and those three words just crushed that happy mental memory, thanks </3

 

There is no denying that our current rate is practically less than minimum wage, a lot of variables and stars have to align in order for a driver to make a decent profit. There have been plenty of talks and attempts at protesting, all of which have failed; they did not change anything nor did they draw the attention needed to truly make Uber sweat and reconsider our rates.
We are on the brink of having the platform to truly protest our rates and get the attention that would make Uber sweat a little; the recently approved LAX pickups. No doubt Uber has sunk a ton of money and time into making this happen, the media is all over it, it already has a ton of attention. We, as drivers, have the opportunity to grab that attention and point it at what really matters; our less than minimum wage fares.
How do we do this? We simply do NOT make any LAX pickups at launch. Picture it; the first day Uber is officially allowed to make pickups, news vans are all over, but no driver is making any pickups. They will want to know why, and that's when we tell them our side; because Uber doesn't pay enough to make pickups worthwhile.

The protest is simple; no LAX pickups at launch. Sure, no pickups until they change things would be great, but not realistic. No pickups at launch would be the most crucial time to gain the most attention. You can continue to Uber as you like, and drop off at LAX, but you simply cancel all LAX rides.

how do you prospose to get this action out to all drivers?? come up that that idea and then we can really make a difference.

p.s. Not trying to burst the bubble, I really hope that somehow all drivers can collectively communicate. Your idea is great by the way but drivers in this forum is a small percentage of the Vultures out there.

I'm with you.

 

Lmao. Drivers are gonna flock to LAX.
You better start networking with other drivers now and I don't mean online. Very few drivers actually come to the Internet for information.

And I'm down for this no pickups at LAX thing. We gotta find out if the shape will surge.

 

Lmao. Drivers are gonna flock to LAX.

Which will make it better for the out laying areas.

 

I never seen a surge at John Wayne airport. .LAX won't be any different. .

 

I'm with you. We know at least 1 driver we can tell them about this. They know at least one. It can snow ball.
Maybe not all 20k drivers in the LA area, but it's a start.

I will not drive on the first day of LAX pickups.

Very very good idea altho some of us driver are willing to do it then there is that 70% of other money hungry, not understanding, plain dume drivers who will not follow along and the plan won't work. The money hungry drivers will earn lots of money and well be asses out. I wish everyone would follow along it would benefit us all with more wages to take go. Good thy never give up

 

X drivers picking up at LAX is a perfect explanation of Darwinism at its finest

 

Uber - divide and conquer!

 

Freaken lyfts punk asses go a be all over LAX watch
