"We're connecting expats with existing limo companies so that they can come on the Uber platform"
Is it just me or does that sound pretty awful? Considering what I've read about the terrible conditions of migrant workers in the middle east... (job seekers paying huge placement fees, employers taking workers passports, workers living in awful conditions, withheld pay, etc.)
- Jacqued 11y agoI'm not familiar with the way Uber operates there but if they mediate the worker-company relation and sponsor the drivers into the country they might actually be helping here, at least with the placement & passport issues. The worst offenders are probably not going to work with Uber anyway. I'm generally not a fan of the way Uber operates but I don't think they actually can make migrant worker's treatment in the middle east any worse than it already is.
