Strike by ride-hailing drivers will have little effect on industry

MANY DRIVERS FOR RIDE-HAILING SERVICE PROVIDERS such as Didi Kuaidi and Uber reportedly went on strike on Friday, as the companies slashed the proportion of the fares they receive by half. Beijing News said on Sunday:

The number of drivers that went on strike is yet to be confirmed, however, it is true that many of them lodged complaints.

Of course, the income reduction will lead to the dissatisfaction of drivers, but compared to other industries, many drivers can still make relatively decent money, so they will be reluctant to switch jobs.
