Ola and Uber drivers to continue with their strike

Mumbaikars might have to wait for more days as Ola and Uber drivers have decided to continue with their indefinite strike.

On Thursday, a meeting was scheduled between the cab union and aggregator companies to discuss the former’s demands. However, the same did not take place as Ola and Uber’s Mumbai offices were closed where the meeting was called. Hence, Ola and Uber drivers decided to continue with their indefinite strike. It is believed that concerned officials of both the companies flew to their Bangalore office.
