What makes you call it "amusing"? Based on that article it seems like the reasons they try to game the system are the same reasons they are striking. They are not being treated fairly. Uber is jerking them around in order to get more work for less pay.
"Uber’s stock is apparently worth about $68 billion dollars, more than every other automobile company in the world besides Toyota. How many employees did Toyota have at last count? About 350,000. Uber? About 12,000."
