This seems like sarcasm, but if it isn't would you care to elaborate on how France or its citizens are harmed by Uber? You seem to have first praised the Taxi drivers for lashing out at Uber drivers, but then you claim that Uber is a "scumbag" because of the way it treats its drivers. Isn't that contradictory?
- pointer899 13y agoNot sarcasm. American companies are notorious for treating employees like shit and paying them as little as they legally can. French Unions ensure decent working conditions and a fair wage.
- icebraining 13y ago"treating employees like shit" Unlike smashing the windows and tires of the car they're driving? The guy driving the Uber car is just an employee, too.
- pointer899 13y agoHe's essentially a scab, undermining the Unions bargaining power. Enough scabs and it becomes difficult for employees to be treated fairly.
- VMG 13y agoMaybe their definition of "fair" is off.
- icebraining 13y agoIf there are enough scabs to fill the required positions, one might question the legitimacy of the union.
- aragot 13y agoThere's a license for taxi driving in France. Uber and Uber drivers don't pay for it. That's unfair competition. I can see on taxis-de-france.com that the price is 120-195k€ (Notice the k) depending on the zone. It's not comparable to 240.000$ in Chicago, because the average salary is 1500€/month in France. Guess why taxi drivers are irritated.
