Some people have invested themselves in Uber based on the pay, which has since dropped. This has happened to people such as Mr. Creery from the article.
Imagine you get hired for a job for some amount of money, pull up your roots and relocate. Then 3 months after you get there they drop your pay down by half. What a pain. Would you have taken the job if you knew that were going to happen? Probably not. And now you have a large switching cost to get away from this job if you have to move again.
Unionized workers can in theory negotiate to mitigate those kinds of scenarios.
