Uber: EU rules will see us pull out of “hundreds” of European cities — Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc::An Uber boss has issued a stark warning that Brussels’ proposal to classify gig workers as de facto employees could slam the breaks on operations across the bloc.
The hubris of thinking that a random driver-exploiting app is some kind of godsend utility and we’ll be scared of losing it.
At this point the old school taxi companies have their apps too, you’re not the cool kid anymore, uber
All anyone ever wanted was an app. Uber stopped being cheapna decade ago. It’s not competitive so let it die.
As much as people hate WalMart, the folks in the south side of Chicago seem pretty unhappy they lost it.
If you can’t pay your workers ethically then your business doesn’t deserve to exist. Simple as that.
Yes. These people are not entitled to be business owners. If they can’t hack it, then get out of the way for the people that can. But don’t worry, business owners - I’m sure you’d be perfectly happy being a gig worker for another company instead, right?
If your business model requires the economic exploitation of your workers, your company possesses no legitimate reason to exist.
Similar to what I always say: if your company’s survival relies on tax evasion, you shouldn’t have a company.
This might not be universal, but here it doesn’t even require it.
Back in 2017, Uber tried to expand to my home province and tried to get us to change our local regulations regarding rideshare (it boiled down to Uber being required to call its drivers employees and to function like the pre-existing taxi services).
Local government doesn’t budge, so Uber decides that it doesn’t want to come anymore. Within the year, a local alternative pops up that complies with the regulations Uber tried to fight, and they’re still profitable 6 years later.
It’s not that Uber isn’t capable of paying their employees living wages, it’s that they can earn more money if they don’t.
Okay, byeee!
As a European, all I can say is good riddance, you greasy fuckers.
I’m going to celebrate the day when they ‘pull out’ of hundreds of European cities.
So people will go back to fairly-paid taxi drivers. Not seeing a problem here.
Oh no! Anyway…
Well…bye
Yes. Fuck off then.
F you, Uber.
They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:
Good job, government. Well done.
EU please do what California utterly failed to do!
good.
Oh no- anyway.

Ciao!
