> Don’t you think the power balance between Uber and taxi drivers versus the situation before is different? Yes, Uber is more susceptible to competition than the old taxi companies. Where I live there are already three providers, and I stopped using Uber because the other takes a lower cut from the driver. In the medallion system, you had to submit to Friedman, because even if another provider offered better conditions, they had a small number of medallions. Competition between employers helps workers. > I’m aware that the US generally already had a very poor system for taxi drivers, but I don’t believe Uber did not make things better. Ok, why? > And don’t forget that Uber also has Uber Eats — delivery drivers are most definitely far worse off with that than when they were working for the restaurants themselves. Which restaurant replaces its drivers with UberEats? At least around here, the restaurants that already had drivers kept them, and UberEats even lets clients order from those restaurants and have the delivery be made by their own drivers. They just expanded the labor market to restaurants that did not delivery beforehand. I fail to see how can that be worse than before.
