(WTNH) - A strike against popular destination-driving companies Uber and Lyft is being coordinated by the very drivers that work for them for Friday morning across Connecticut.

Uber and Lft drivers were holding signs and chanting outside of Union Station in New Haven.

The workers said, "You take all the money. We are all working like a slave. They charge the customer so much money and pay us so little money."

Some Uber and Lyft drivers are striking on one of the busiest travel days. Employees for the ride share programs say while fares for customers haven't changed, from them it has.

It's futile

In 20 years it will only be self driving cars

This will be a tiny blip in transportation history

It's almosy like companies will fuck over their employees given any chance to make more money.

What took you guys so long

I would never drive my own car for Uber and tack on the mileage burn my oil and gas and wear my tires out for less than minimum wage. I heard a while back that Lyft was considering renting cars out for people who want to drive for them. That is something I'd definitely consider. But any company that's too cheap to provide me with a vehicle can fuck off.

Uber will actually lease you a car, provided you don't ask about the interest rate.
