YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

There is an anti-Uber protest happening in France, over a new service from the company called UberPop. Cab drivers have taken to the streets and stopped traffic all over Paris. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

“French taxi drivers are on strike throughout the country to protest against UberPop, one of the services offered by the American online cab-hailing service Uber.

In Paris, the cabbies blocked access to motorway exits, airports, and railway stations. Photos from news agencies and social media showed cars being overturned or vandalized.

French media showed images of the burning tires and blockades, while police in riot gear at one point intervened using tear gas, the BBC reported.”
