If I was thinking about working for them, I would only consider my own income. As some London drivers are saying that they make less than minimum wage after costs, they may be better off in a different job. I think it may even be a genuine choice here as there are lots of service sector jobs with variable hours. I'm not, however, saying that it is nice to be in a position of choosing between a rock and a hard place.
- VincentEvans 11y agoI know a few poor working class people who looked to Uber as their lifeline. Instead what they experienced is yet another form of legal exploitation of vulnerable population. Same as payday loans etc...
- omonra 11y agoCan you explain why you think they experienced "legal exploitation of vulnerable population'? Ie it's not something that's intuitive to me and I'd like to know more.
- VincentEvans 11y agoPaying sub-minimal wages to population in desperate need of income. Taking advantage of the the situation that working poor find themselves in by appearing to act as a benefactor while obscuring the fact that enployment with them is likely to make situation even worse. Why is sweatshop labor considered bad? Dont those people need money? Why is predatory lending is bad? I thought they willingly borrowed? Etc. Taking advantage of desperate and uninformed.
