  You're absolutely right! It's definitely a negotiation. It might be worth considering that an opening bid that's too high in a negotiation sometimes just convinces the counterparty to walk away. If you ask for 150k and want 100k, there's a good chance the company might just say "Sorry, we can't afford that" - and then you have nothing. Again, you're completely right. This is unquestionably a negotiation. At the same time, it would be foolish to assume that all opening bids are equally likely to be treated as reasonable.

    That's where the shutdown part comes in play. Uber can't just say "I don't care" because with the more drivers taking part they are the ones to lose the most, in reputation and money.

      With at most 4000 drivers spread across many cities, it sounds right now like Uber will be positioned to shrug it off entirely.
