I think taxi drivers should just quit the union then go work for uber perhaps.
My thoughts exactly. It's not as if they're forced to stay with the taxi companies - go with the times, improve your life. There's a number who have already done so, and why the rest can't get on board is beyond me. From conversations with NYC Uber drivers who used to do cabs, Uber eats up a lot less of what you take in. Nicer cars, too.
I'm guessing the administrative job at taxi companies are crying the most as they won't be getting their cut like they used to.....so they are probably the ones crying foul the loudest.
