That all means nothing when some night in the coming weeks Joe 6 pack walks out of the bar after a few to many, tries to get an Uber, a Lyft, both fail. Looks at his car he was gonna leave there, and risks it.

This isn't an acceptance of the unfair work conditions, it's simply an outcome that WILL happen if the cord is cut all at once.
