Uber's Seattle woes: union battle could see company leave another major city

Unionizing sucessfully or causing Uber and Lyft to leave the market seems great by me, both Uber drivers I know here in Seattle hate the gig, as Uber essentially needs them to be idle ~40% of the time to keep pickup times below 10min on average. Combined with both of them leasing cars through Uber (which I told one of 'em not to), its a real nightmare caused by Uber.

If this causes Uber and Lyft to leave town as they don't want to allow any room for drivers to organize, allowing the multitude of other ridesharing apps (which don't take anywhere near a 30% to 45% cut) to take their place like what happened in Austin would be fine for Seattle.
