Over 250 rideshare and taxi drivers went on strike at the Denver
International Airport last Thursday to raise wages, stop unfair
terminations, and create safer conditions for drivers. The strike was
organized by Colorado Independent Drivers United (CIDU), CWA Local
7777, and was led by a strike committee composed of 18 drivers. The
strikers effectively shut down the holding lot at the airport, where
drivers are required to wait for trip requests. Community allies,
including elected officials and candidates for elected office,
religious leaders, and leaders in the Black community joined the
strikers. The Denver strike was part of a national day of action by
Uber and Lyft drivers coordinated by PowerSwitch Action that included
other driver actions in New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and
San Francisco.
