Hundreds of Uber, Lyft drivers block Manhattan traffic to protest lockouts by apps

Hundreds of Uber and Lyft drivers blockaded Manhattan traffic Wednesday morning, demanding an end to “lockouts” by Uber and Lyft.

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) says over 1,000 drivers participated in the blockade on Monday morning, stretching along 11th Avenue from 30th Street all the way to 48th Street. Drivers traveled to City Hall and beyond, honking on the “horns of justice” to demand fair pay and the ability to work without disruption.
