Classic example of a producer lobby. It's also pretty telling that other strikes have 'devolved into ugly violence'. The medallion owners were granted a monopoly and Uber and Lyft have challenged that. Really the only way they can stop the challenge is violence. However the real problem isn't Uber it's the fact that medallion owners have a monopoly on taxis.
