I believe the (official) problem here is that the subcontracted workers can't be employed because they are underage, illegal immigrants etc.

- sandworm101 7y agoAs I said, using illegal labourers is a crime. But "profiting from the vulnerability of others" is the basis of Uber's business model. It's laughable to hear them complain about someone else sidestepping labour standards to pay people less than a minimum. I think they are just upset that someone has managed to shave profit from their system. Uber is jealous that it cannot access this ultra-cheap labour pool itself.
- Bakary 7y agoIt's not laughable because they aren't hypocritical but cynical. They know they can get away with this, and do.
