I’m fine with Uber drivers getting unemployment. Just make sure when this storm passes that we also retroactively collect unemployment back taxes. I don’t really care if it’s garnished from the workers or the companies, but somebody has to pay and they’ve got to pay going forward as well.

Honest question - why? Every other western country protects workers without some accounting detail. Why not us?

  Not quite sure what you mean by "accounting detail", but in canada, every paycheque I've ever received has had government-run pension and employment insurance deductions applied.

  Every time you collect or pay out money it's just some 'accounting detail'. We should make sure the 'accounting details' are fair to begin with, and we don't let Uber freeload on the system. This situation isn't because of the workers, it's about Uber finding loopholes in the tax system so they can run existing taxi systems (which did pay into the unemployment system) out of business.
