Thousands of drivers plan to block traffic around the stadium. They're protesting what they call low wages. They want Uber to pay them more money, claiming they sometimes work for less than $4 an hour.
An Uber spokeswoman says Uber cut its prices in San Francisco by 10 percent because January is a slow month, hoping that will bring more customers to drivers, and the company has been doing hourly guarantees for all drivers during this time.
