> We drivers have zero rights. Zero. Uber/Lyfts' idea to start a driver association is going to do nothing for us. The culture of these co's is that we don't matter, that we are junk, replaceable, & deserve nothing. We have to fight together to win this.
Lots of those platforms have a simple business model: Outsource the risk to individual partakers, with that, lowers the price for consumers, but market it as"disrupting".
As long as the individuals to whom the risk is deferred to, are either locked in, or can cover their risks easy enough, there is no problem.
In this, Uber seems to be really pushing the envolope on the amount of risk they can externalize, before their individual risk-takers form a union or walk away.
