Are you responding to the actual constraints in this discussion of _employees_ with _benefits_?
As far as I can tell, Union Cab PDX does not provide employee benefits such as:
- minimum hourly wage
- paid time off (e.g. funding 2 weeks vacation)
- unemployment payments if laid off
I don't know if it's related but Unioncabpdx recently left the CWA Local 7901 union as they weren't paying membership dues:

- jasonwatkinspdx 6y agoYes, they provide benefits, including healthcare. I don't know anything about them pulling out of the CWA local.
- jasode 6y ago>Yes, they provide benefits, including healthcare. But Union Cab Portland does not provide a guaranteed minimum hourly wage (a benefit that real employees are entitled to) and they are exempt like every other taxi company in Portland from the minimum wage law because taxi drivers are treated as contractors.
