Drivers for ride-hailing apps Uber and Lyft plan to hold a rally at Chicago's O'Hare airport Aug. 17 to protest wages and abuse from passengers, according to Fortune.
The Chicago Rideshare Advocates group is working to organize thousands of drivers across the city to protest wages that they say often drop below the city's minimum wage of $12 per hour. The group also said abusive riders often are ignored by companies.
"Nobody wants to ban Uber and Lyft. Nobody wants that," Eli Martin, a co-organizer of Chicago Rideshare Advocates told the Chicago Sun-Times. "We all like this; we just have to make it work better."
