Many Uber (UBER) drivers are struggling to live off their earnings, which has lead many to hold strikes against the company, Winnie Hu and Ana Ley of The New York Times reports. According to data from the Taxi and Limousine Commission, Uber and Lyft (LYFT) drivers earn less in fares and tips than taxi drivers. In September, Uber and Lyft drivers earned an average of $5,046, including $277 in tips, while those in taxis earned $5,844, including $865 in tips. Back in December, Uber sued the taxi commission to block a raise for Uber and Lyft drivers. In response, drivers have organized two strikes and urged customers to boycott the app. Reference Link
