Number one issue with Uber for me is, ticking the unaccompanied minor box, it does not give a cancel fee. It does not prevent them from using the account and wasting another drivers time. Same with no car seat. Number 2 issue is cancelation rate percent, and acceptance rate percent even being logged. If were independant, we can cancel for any reason whatsoever, even using it as a stratagy. Bonuses should not be based on acceptance. It should be based on star rating. 3rd issue is that we should be able to defend our rating. We have dash cams. We have records of txt and call communications. Uber keeps those records and proceeds to never look at them.

Dara is saying that we make $32/ hour, that’s been said, we can become employees if they pay us $32/hour, we drive company cars, Uber/lyft pay for gas, insurance, oil change etc, if we work more than 8 hours we get paid overtime, they pay vacation and holidays. If that happens I m in. 😊
@ricky46737 ай бұрын
They could lower that to 22 an hour. If I dont need to use my car, my costs are way way low. No need for a car at all.

They're not going to give us company cars so we definitely need to be compensated to offset the cost we incur. Not just a minimum wage. 40 an hr guaranteed (NYC suburbs) for utilizing your own vehicle, phone, specialized signal boosting antenna etc

The key issue here is they’re trying to fit a gig worker into labor laws that were created in 1935 (89 years ago)! NELP, NLB, lawmakers and the gig companies need to come up a hybrid model that takes into consideration the basics of an independent worker and an employee. There has to be a model that protects the individual and that makes companies and their shareholders realize a return on their expenses / investments. The reason U and L aren’t worried about this announcement is b/c it is based on $7.25/hour! Imagine if the federal min wage was current with the cost of living (let’s say $23/hour), they would be dinging a very different time. The Fed min wage needs to be updated to current market conditions!

you can’t take on that many employees you make you do half-and-half that would be my opinion half employees and half contractors is the only way it could happen but you’re only gonna get paid when somebody’s in the seat going down the road you’re not gonna get paid to hang out in your car so forget about it

If actual inflation is 30 percent, we should have 50 dollars minimum wage. Inflation is not what they say it is. They change yhe rules in how it is calculated. They decide what types of goods and services should be included or ommitted.
@eworldmusikinc.30547 ай бұрын
As ride share employees, who will cover the cost to drive( car maintenance, fuel and depreciation)? I currently base my rides off the federal minimum wage plus $0.65/mile to cover cost. Funny thing is, I still make less than minimum wage and over 80% of my offers are below minimum wage, once I deduct the $$0.65/mile. As for the overtime thing, these companies will simply throttle drivers so that they never reach 40 hours, forcing them to switch apps for the rest of the week and the other app will do the same. So drivers will have say 32 hours on Uber and 32 hours on Lyft; 32hrs on GrubHub, 32hrs on DoorDash, ect. This will make companies never pay over time pay and be well within their rights to throttle drivers. Throw in this active time BS and drivers will only have 25 hours a week even if they work 7 days.

They already take 30% when you file your 1099. It would be nice to have my taxes already done with w-2 but the issue is I want to be a independent contractors because of the flexibility.
