The following day was more unfortunate news for drivers. According to Telegram.com: "College of the Holy Cross football and soccer players allegedly were among a group of students videotaped drunkenly abusing an Uber driver outside Leitrim’s Pub in the early morning hours of March 16." The driver kept his dash cam on to record the nearly 15 minutes of verbal abuse as they threw his CDs on the ground and pounded on his car.
Friday 3/29
The week ended with the dawn of a new IPO and the rise-up of drivers. As Lyft's IPO went public, Uber and Lyft drivers in California went on strike, refusing to drive. As NPR reported on the strike, they interviewed Nicole Moore, one of the drivers involved, who had this to say: "Both Lyft and Uber are trying to figure out how to make their companies look profitable to investors. And so, who are they squeezing? The folks doing the work for the company."
