Disgusted Uber customers are deleting the ride-sharing app in droves after learning that the company defied Saturday’s taxi strike at JFK Airport, which was aimed at protesting President Trump’s newest controversial immigration policy.
The New York Taxi Workers Alliance had asked drivers to protest Trump’s agenda — effectively a ban on Muslims entering the US — by not picking up fares at the airport Saturday night.
Yet Uber continued to not only send its drivers, it turned off its surge pricing in an attempt to drum up more business.
“Taxis striking at JFK against Muslim ban. Uber, whose CEO advises Trump, breaking the strike, supporting the ban. Delete delete delete,’’ Meredith Whittaker tweeted last night, referencing Uber head honcho Travis Kalanick, who sits on Trump’s board.
