I'm not denying that, and I feel weird defending Uber at all, but then you'd also need to account for why they offered to compensate their drivers affected by this travel ban, and why would they lower their surge pricing. I'm okay with saying that they're trying to play both sides of this.

Which in the context of a strike, isn't possible. The purpose of these kind of labor actions is to force a clarification about with whom one holds solidarity, in this case refugees and immigrants.

Breaking the strike is breaking the strike. They did not hold with refugees and immigrants, even after the taxi drivers explicitly asked them to do so. Everything else is just trying to mitigate damage to the point where people forget/engage in apologetics to obfuscate the choice they made.

With us or against us is some bullshit logic. This is not a binary issue.

[emilsedgh]

Get some free PR by condemning the EO while actually offering support to Trump administration by removing pressure by nullifying the strike.

Now that's being a hypocrite on a grand grand scale.

Turning off surge reduces supply. That's not "nullifying the strike" - quite the opposite. It's weaker than it could have been, but it's also exactly what Lyft did.

Well, I'm glad you said what you said even though, as you admit, you feel weird defending Uber. Actions are much more louder and substantive than words and if Uber does good things, I am glad that this forum still has members who will rightfully point that out (instead of it devolving into an echo chamber)
