Things were moving so fast at the time, I guess I had my doubts that Uber was even aware of the strike, but I suppose that may be naive and that the taxi association probably contacted Uber about this.
I'm definitely coming around to the idea that Uber is simply playing both sides of this, and that it gives them too much credit to assume good intentions of them removing surge pricing.
They lowered prices in response to the strike. They were aware it was going on. If they had left surge pricing in effect that could be argued to be ignorance of the strike, but they didn't.
