Video: What Uber and Lyft Drivers Want
Although rideshare apps and other “gig economy” jobs are often billed as ways for workers to make extra cash in their spare time, that hasn’t been the case for many.
Last week ridehsare drivers across the country staged a 24-hour strike against their companies, Uber and Lyft.

The action’s organizers, Rideshare Drivers United, said drivers were seeking a minimum hourly pay rate that would up to about $17 after expenses. See Joe Rihn’s report.
