Why not pay them 10 and use the labour in the community? Then if Uber et al wants labour they have to bid it away from the "common good".
Once everybody has an alternative job to go to outside the private sector, it no longer matters if Uber decides not to pay people and instead automates all the vehicles.
Then everybody wins due to improved productivity - Uber and the people with community jobs.

Middle man in any economic system tend to destroy wealth. Uber is in itself a middle man between people who want a ride and people who pay for it. They upended a middle man who was less efficient.
