NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Uber and Lyft drivers are staging a 12-hour strike at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday as they call for higher pay.
Drivers from both ride share groups will stop picking up and dropping off customers at LaGuardia Airport from noon to midnight.
Picketers are protesting after Uber filed a lawsuit to stop a planned pay raise approved by the Taxi and Limousine Commission.
"As promised, we are continuing to fight to protect the minimum pay standard that the City’s hardworking drivers deserve," TLC Commissioner David Do said in a statement. "We have proposed a new rule that increases minimum pay and contains detailed explanations of our calculations. We sincerely hope that there will be no further attempts to thwart this much needed pay adjustment."
The strike comes just days before a TLC hearing on the new pay rules.
