Reply to comment by spicytoastaficionado in Uber, Lyft drivers won’t pick up passengers at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday in pay protest strike by ThreeLittlePuigs

Could argue the press piece is enough of an impact by the organizers standpoint. I'd think that may be true as well if it brought more drivers / others to their cause.

This will be the third strike drivers have held in the past three months in protest of Uber's legal battle against the TLC , and I would argue the media attention is diminishing returns at this point.

Also, given the two previous strikes resulted in no discernible difference in riders being able to get paired with a driver, it would be surprising if a third strike that is smaller in scope results in more drivers joining the strike.

It would be nice to see a unified front, but that surge pricing is going to be too sweet for a lot of drivers to pass up.
