The AirBnB case is a little different because anyone can rent an AirBnB (so maybe, at the very least, they can't, and maybe don't, give such low ball offers), but in the Uber case, they know they probably have the driver by the balls. They have a lot of info on the driver that they can probably get a rough idea of their socioeconomic status. Even in general, without a car, an Uber driver has no way to make money. Uber drivers likely can't afford legal representation in the first place. Of course, in general, they'll feel powerless to do anything but sign the NDA and take the check. I do hope this driver gets proper compensation for what happened on the job and can set a good precedent for other drivers.
