If you didn't mind listening to racist diatribe from the driver and were willing to support their tax evasion as "the card reader's broken guv - cash only".
- burntoutfire 6y agoAin't that the truth. The first time I drove a London cab, the driver appeared scruffy and a bit mad, constantly mumbling under his nose stuff like "I wouldn't mind hitting that guy, I really wouldn't" (after someone cut him off).
- C1sc0cat 6y agoBut supporting Ubers tax evasion and exploitation of workers is then.
- JAlexoid 6y ago"Exploitattion".... when people chose to drive for Uber, instead of getting a full blown cab license or work for a fraudster cab company. I hate Uber for a lot of things, but they don't exploit anyone. If anything Uber is the disruptor that stopped straight up mobs owning the market.
- C1sc0cat 6y agoI call pretending that they are self employed instead of workers and doing them out of holiday and sick pay - yeh I call that exploitation.
- JAlexoid 6y agoThey are self employed. They drive their own cars. They set their own work schedule. They engage with uber on per ride basis. They can be working for Uber, Lyft and the local minicab all at the same time. They are not employees at all... and they must figure out their own holiday and sick pay.
