Sure. Cab drivers protesting by being even lazier is a great plan. If making yourselves even more hated doesn't convince Americans, I can't think of what will. And let's not forget that the World Trade Center bombers included a Muslim cabbie.
The NY Taxi Workers Alliance issued a call
Calling ALL DRIVERS! YELLOW, UBER, EVERYONE: Do not pick up at JFK Airport tonight, Saturday January 28th, from 6m to 7pm. Stand in Solidarity With Thousands Protesting Inhumane, Unconstitutional Ban of Muslim Refugees and travelers. Be united brothers & sisters for a just world. We cannot be silent. We go to work to welcome people to a land that once welcomed us. We are the wretched, the tired, the hungry, the poor. We will not be divided.
Join the protest outside Terminal 4. We will be there with our banner and signs.
Really? Cab drivers are the wretched and the hungry?
Yellow cab drivers are justly hated in New York City for their illegitimate monopoly. That monopoly died with the rise of Uber. The yellow cab now just rips off unwitting tourists who still don't own smartphones and people who just want to get out of the airport.
So sure, make more way for Uber drivers to cash in, while reminding New Yorkers why the hate you.
