It's absurd to compare providing a service that hooks drivers up with clients to child labour.
- reidjs 6y agodriving is one of the most dangerous things you can do nowadays. most Uber drivers have to support themselves and possibly others. Many drivers can’t afford private healthcare so in the case of an accident it would really suck for them and their family. Maybe they’re not losing their fingers in factory machines like child laborers are but I think they deserve employer provided healthcare at the very least.
