To: Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Lyft CEO David Risher

We, the drivers in one of Uber and Lyft’s biggest markets, are fed up with your policies of exploitation. We are tired of lockouts, low pay, wage theft and deactivations. Some of us are losing 50% of our hard-earned income because of lockouts alone. We pay for the car, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and fuel/charging. We provide the service. We take the risk to our life and safety. You take the rewards. Instead of respecting us, you exploit us, put us last, then punish us to satisfy your never-ending greed. You fail to see how hard we work, that our kids and our families also have dreams and needs, and that our health and life have value. So, heed this notice, CEOs: where you do not see our value, we, the Uber and Lyft drivers of NYC, are ready to show you our power.

WE ARE READY TO STRIKE

If you do not meet our demands, we are ready to turn off our Apps for a minimum of 24 hours.

We see through your phony deal with the Mayor to have one company “reduce” lockouts while the other increases them, all while you get away with cheating us out of income for months and block our higher pay next year!

WE DEMAND!

End ALL lockouts NOW!

Agree to REGULATIONS to stop your lockout threats now and forever

Agree to updated TLC pay rules to reflect actual utilization so we stop losing an average of $5,000 - $7,000 of income per year

Pay us on each trip whichever is higher: 85% of fare or 100% TLC pay rules; double out-of-town rates

End unfair deactivations; stop acting as prosecutor, judge and jury. Agree to city law which gives drivers right to notices and independent appeals

Support drivers in our fight for maximum cap on FHV renting and financing rates
