“They’re running a sweatshop with an app."

Guys riding around in air-conditioned cars all day calling their working conditions a sweatshop.

What if Uber can't actually pay them what they want? Is the solution to force Uber to not fire any drivers, to pay them more than they're able? And by what insane reasoning should they be forced to pay more? Uber isn't owned by the government, and isn't the sole dispatcher around (and certainly not in SF!).

If Uber's business model can't support paying the drivers more than there's nothing that can be done except for the drivers that don't like the conditions to quit. If that means that Uber then goes out of business, so be it. No amount of protesting is going to fix that.

This is typical when employees try to shake down their employer. They exaggerate their working conditions, and ignore the financial circumstances behind a companies actions.
