uber probably wouldn't exist if this were the case. the cost overhead of hiring someone would mean drivers would have less freedom - no moonlighting for lyft or sidecare - and rates would be higher.
isn't it better to look at ways of changing the employer/employee dynamic instead of insisting that everything work that way?
- jassinpain 12y agoPlease explain your logic? As a user of uber the experience is so much better then a cab. If a driver does not perform to very high standard they are cut out of the system with customer reviews. For the drivers I talk to ( 6x trips a week) they love the flexility and money. The only reason your hearing anything is taxi shields are a scam. They are now a commodity that is "rented" while the companies sit there and trap the drivers with high rental fees. Sure it's not perfect but I feel safer in a Uber car then a cab. They usually drive better, there is a lot of who's car I got in, where I was picked up, when the ride started, and where it ended. In a cab you have none of these.
- MarkPNeyer 12y agoi'm not sure how we disagree. my point was to GP - that making uber hire all of the drivers wouldn't benefit the drivers, the customers, or uber. it would benefit the cab unions though.
