How about - they know Uber is dominating and they aren't going to stop, therefore if the drivers quit they are simply screwed and there won't be any more work for them? This is a free market, so they can start a competitor to Uber and work there together, but if they can't, negotiating by means of protesting isn't really helpful. This looks like a dirty union-type negotiation. Those were great a 100 years ago, maybe, when low wage laborers were really poorly treated, but no more. These guys are taxi drivers, and I am sorry if Uber is cutting their wages a little or firing the bad ones. This is a free market economy and no one said taxi drivers are entitled to anything.
