So this is an example of Uber employing some people who are otherwise unemployable or do not wish to be employed in that sector of the workforce. Is it reasonable to say that anyone who is currently a gig worker with Uber and wanted to could get a job as a HCV driver could do so by getting the license or taking an apprenticeship program? ( https://www.gov.uk/training-hgv/apprenticeships https://www.gov.uk/training-hgv/apprenticeships ) On the other hand, if people would rather work for Uber than a trucking company, is it fair to blame Uber for the labor shortage for truck drivers? Additionally, if people would rather work for Uber than a trucking company, is it unfair for Uber to pay less than the trucking company? (Note: I categorically against the 'disrupt the industry by ignoring regulations and miscategorize workers' that many gig based companies seek to exploit and while this does cause problems it isn't necessarily the root cause of the problems that exist from inefficiencies in current regulations and employment options) As an aside on the licensing in this situation https://www.gov.uk/guidance/use-a-driver-cpc-national-vocational-training-nvt-concession https://www.gov.uk/guidance/use-a-driver-cpc-national-vocati... : Drive an HGV or bus professionally while you're training - Apply to drive an HGV, bus or coach professionally for up to 12 months before taking all the qualifying tests if you’re doing certain training courses.
