| Clearly the cracks are starting to show. If the drivers create the value/provide the service and Uber is facilitating that by taking a share, it has to make sense for the value-creator/service provider to continue the relationship. If Uber erodes that margin, the drivers will leave. Eventually Uber has to change to benefit their service providers and act a little more ethically. The drivers know of their underhanded ways with dealing with Lyft and eventually the public will. I am an immigrant, I drove a black car in NYC(many years ago), my cousin drives one now. He is none too happy with the UberX situation right now. Uber should consider the plight of the drivers and not their 100X VC overlords. Nobody ever got rich driving a cab, why victimize the drivers? "Because we can?" "We are making the market more efficient" "Frictionless" It is just at the expense of the drivers. That's your friction point. Hard working people just want a fair shot, not to be exploited. Instead of a billion-dollar pay day, why not just a little human decency. |
