Commuters may have a harder time finding an Uber Monday morning as the New York Taxi Workers Alliance calls on drivers to strike.

It comes after Uber successfully took legal action to block a scheduled pay raise for uber drivers in the city.They're planning to gather under the BQE in downtown Brooklyn for a planned protest across the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission voted to increase fares and wages citing inflation and high gas prices.In a statement Uber said, "Drivers do critical work and deserve to be paid fairly, but rates should be calculated in a way that is transparent, consistent and predictable."Now despite the fact that drivers will not see that promised pay raise on Monday fares are still increasing by about 16% across the city.
