Black Agenda Radio · Tennessee Ride Share Workers Protest Uber and Lyft Labor Practices

Hundreds of Uber and Lyft rideshare drivers from the Tennessee Drivers Union (TDU) went on strike on Friday at the beginning of the Labor Day weekend to bring forward their demands for better pay and conditions. This rideshare organizing effort is the first of its size to occur in the deep South, a region hostile to worker organizing. We are joined by Cecilia Prado, the Chairperson of A Luta Sigue, the struggle continues, who is working with the drivers to organize their strike and with others on labor organizing in Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee.
