 If the app was kept as it was originally intended, then this wouldn't have happened. But Uber and Lyft got greedy and started shoving their way into the industry without following the rules. The app took a small cut and simply hooked you up with people  Everyone Has A Family Tree But I Have A Cactus Full Of Pricks Shirt needing a ride. That's it. But they kept going, cutting pay and taking more for themselves, bypassing laws, and all around doing normal corporate BS. I'm sure in the end it was still worth it though. They could probably close up shop and be perfectly happy with the severance they took by undercutting their workers good deal of the modern gig economy is built around abusing the gray areas of the law. The justice systems and politicians will catch up eventually. Gee, now let's see some judge ruled that Uber and Lyft are TAXI services, subject to all the same regulations and fees that kept that industry under control. Basically, they were doing an end-run

 Legislators really need to create a class of employment somewhere between contractors. And employees that protect gig workers while allowing companies and workers flexibility. If only professional wrestlers were treated as employees. Especially since many have contracts that forbid them to work elsewhere while not making the most money. I think Uber’s long game is to have an autonomous fleet of cars. But at least they’ll have to pay people better in th Gnome Buffalo Plaid Christmas Tree Light Ugly Santa Hat Shirt e interim maybe? There was a year when my rent went up 20% and my expected raise was shelved, so I was scrambling and signed up for Uber.DoorDash and Postmates thinking I'd need to swing some extra cash fast. I ended up not needing any of them, but Uber was hounding me like a dog for 2 weeks asking when I was going to start so they could figure out their logistics.  Uber is a scam for drivers. Uber hasn't made any money yet in a big part because the rates they make dr

No one is a slave. Contractors aren’t slaves and employees are not slaves. If someone doesn’t want to be a contractor driving for Uber, I would suggest that they not apply to be one. I would say the same thing to someone. Who doesn’t want to be an employee at any company, including Uber, who also has employees? Would this mean that they could be? Considered to have tens of thousands more employees after this on a roll call? And who decides how active a driver must be to be con

 According to recent surveys, a majority of Uber drivers do NOT want to be employees. And 2/3rds claim they’ll stop driving if their flexibility is compromised. And, let’s not forget how many low-income people rely on rideshare services as an affordable means of transport. Destroy the marketplace nature of these companies.

Nice to know the looters and nanny statists in California are doing everything. They can make transportation more expensive and reduce worker choice. Gig jobs are intended to be exactly that: a way for folks to augment their income on their own terms. With flexible hours an

 The last part of this rant is for the people who think “corporate greed” is the problem here. Sadly, it is not. They are only providing an opportunity for people to make a little money on the side or as a bridge. To their next step in a career, or for whatever other reason people want to drive for them.
