Not 100% sure I'd call it a strike but its just the free market working quickly.
I have a feeling though this will spread around the world and be adapted by drivers in many other countries.
I've traveled a bit in South America and Uber drivers there really do earn barely anything - I dont know how they afford the gas - e.g. 1/2 hour trip for $3-$4.
I've also traveled in South America and relied on Uber heavily. I talked with a few drivers, and they all found Uber to actually be worth it. For example, Colombia's minimum wage when converted to 40hrs/wk/month comes out to ~$1.50/hr. It's not a bad gig there, and the cost of living is relatively low. The bigger problem is the danger of driving for Uber, as taxistas are not a fan of Uber drivers.
