> "If Uber drivers are being "exploited", why don't they quit?" My impression is that driving a taxi is a useful side income for people, as they can fit it around other commitments. For example, if someone has a job as a waiter at a restaurant, but needs to make some extra money on the side to pay their rent/living expenses, then they could take a job with Uber to supplement their income. However, a job that fills a financial necessity can still be exploitative. For example, when it comes to Uber, there's not much in the way of job security. Furthermore, whilst people could theoretically quit, a theoretical new job doesn't put food on the table.
