REDONDO BEACH, Calif.—Dozens of Amazon and rideshare drivers gathered in front of an Amazon warehouse and Uber Greenlight hub in Redondo Beach early in the morning of March 16 to call for higher compensation as gas prices soar.

At the rally, the drivers formed a caravan on Redondo Beach Avenue with signs stuck to their car that read, “Running on empty, we can’t afford gas, tech giants pay up.” Nearby drivers honked their horns to show support.
