If you work in an office, you can probably find a poster with a bunch of them on it, somewhere. Break room or something like that, usually. You'll be able to find it because one of the legal obligations employers have to employees is to post that information. Not an exhaustive accounting, but it'll be a good introduction. If your post was intended to be sarcastic or otherwise wasn't serious, sorry for missing your meaning.

- minimum wage - do Uber drivers not make 7.25/hour? - overtime - if it is enforced , all Uber has to do is not allow someone to work over 8 hours a day. Does that help Uber drivers? - unpaid leave - if Uber drivers need to take a break and be guaranteed a “job” at Uber that’s already the case. - child labor - you can’t drive Uber if you are underage - farm workers - not applicable. Did I miss anything?

    If the government thinks that health care should be a “universal right” - and I agree - then the government should provide health care to all of its citizens like every other civilized country in the world.

  California minimum wage is $15.50/hr, and in San Francisco it is $17/hr. There is no guarantee that rideshare drivers make anything close to that much while they are on the job. When you factor in vehicle depreciation, fuel, payroll taxes, health and auto insurance and all other costs associated with the job (that the employer doesn't have to pay because you are an independent contractor), a lot of them are actually losing money.

    I’ve been to San Francisco. There is a severe labor shortage for even “unskilled labor”. If the Uber drivers are being “taken advantage of” , why don’t they respond to all of the help wanted signs I see?
