"Uber argues that its drivers "provide critical transportation services for essential workers such as hospital workers, caregivers and first responders" and have become even more important as "major cities have reduced service hours for mass transit." Uber also points to its delivery services, insisting it has provided "an economic lifeline to small businesses and restaurants"
It's a shame that they (Uber, Amazon etc) don't seem to view those same people as being so critical when it comes to wage and working conditions negotiating time.
When a Cxx (Snowflake) can earn $95M per month things just don't seem to be even close to being a level playing field right now.
Uber etc cannot have it both ways. Their workers cannot be both 'essential' and 'like it or lump it because a thousand others will take your place' employees.
