I agree. Honestly I think the majority of the drivers don't even know about this strike. Now with the media getting on it... hopefully there's a greater awareness and a workable solution down the road. It'll be a tough one as many new drivers (who do not know how things used to be in the past) actually don't mind the current market, acknowleding that it is a survival mode.
I signed on in Portland OR 8 years ago, they took 20% & I got 80%. Now they demand drivers to accept their terms of service, or not be able to drive - yearly. They began with $1.75mi but now they say I have to drive $0.70/mi - but they won’t grandfather me in or let me negotiate (like a private contractor should be able to), I’m using my own car! I made gross $100,000 last year (they report the entire fare as the drivers income): AFTER what they took I got $40,000 - but after expenses (gas, insurance, mechanic work) & deductions I got about $1,200 NET. Uber/Lyft Says $33/hr But They Get $19 & the driver gets $14: (58%) 19/14 (42%)!
@@bebophippie1781 maybe. 🤔. It’s tuff , you would need a nation wide strike to get they big companies attention, those 2hrs not gonna make a dent in there bottom line except da drivers. 🤷♂️
I started doordash in 2020, I was making great money daily at 18 but it declined drastically, you could pay the company $30 and I'd only get a base pay of $2 + a $5 tip for 10 miles when i'm the one doing to work. They could up the base pay to a minimum $5 and require a tip of no less than $3-5 but also make it depend on the mileage cause remeber, we pay for our gas/tires/wipers+all wear and tear & we deal with all danger from the public
As a customer I want my food delivered after it's been picked up, not after the driver picks up and delivers another customers food first. We don't always get what we want.

Been asking for years for mandating riders post an actual photo of themselves but both Uber and Lyft won't. If your a passenger using these apps, PLEASE!!! use an actual photo and name. Your safety, my safety.
Problem is this was never meant to be a full time job. people have tried to turn it into that. They've quit there steady job to be there own boss and work there own hours. Reality has now crashed in people are stubborn don't want to go back.
I NOT NEED RIDESHARE DRIVERS I CAN TAKE A TAXI I ALWAYS DO SINCE UBER AND LYFT BEGAN THEY OVER CHARGE MORE THAN TAXIS LOTS OF TIMES . I WATCH HOW THEY NOT HELPING WITH LUGGAGE EVEN WITH OLDER CUSTOMERS YET THEY WANT MORE MONEY. THEY ARE A JOKE . STOP COMPLAINING LEAVE
I remember when Uber rides were so cheap, and the drivers mostly just driving Uber for supplemental income. Oh, and no tip were required. Now people be driving Uber as a career.
Just ban this uber and lyft ride sharing companies for ever , stop using them stop driving them , then no one will need them because there are plenty of cabbies dying for a single fair....respect them.....
Nothing will change until EVERYONE stops driving for these apps. That'll never happen. Uber bought back 7 billion of their own stock yesterday. Have some self-respect and walk away. Your time, effort and sacrifice does nothing but make these leaches on society even more rich.
It's the pay that comes in on the ride request what we get versus what they get it's robbery they're stealing money from us as private contractors per ride per contract and only dumb drivers go along with it Uber tries to disguise s*** all the time so does Lyft and DoorDash
We are being misclassified. They control every aspect. Including capping our fares. Saving themselves millions by claiming we are independent contractors, when we truly are not. We are receiving poverty wages now.
If they want better pay then they should start their own delivery company. They are just the low person on the totem pole. It costs money to run a company.
Even though you think you’re making $18 an hour that’s net profit gross after gas oil changes maintenance. Rideshare insurance you’re making $12 an hour you’re making $20 an hour. Your gross profit is $14 an hour.

Pay Those Drivers Correctly.
Point Blank.
They are paid under the terms of the contract they signed.
Literally the fairest possible way.
Problem: nobody can agree on what correctly means.
You guys have to strike every month to turn the volume up

@@NeverTooLate546 Exactly! I'm a driver and I had no idea until late this afternoon 🤷🏾♀️
A majority of drivers understand their position and what they signed up for. @@NeverTooLate546
Is it really a strike when you are a contractor? LOL. You are just making the platform surge for those who get it.
Alright a work stoppage. Every month til Uber gets it. By 2030 Uber plans on doing auto self driving cars so people need to raise hell

Sounds like a bad deal. Why would you do it?
Big biz math
Yes they tell lies about driver income and overcharge us 5x on insurance fees
Not gonna work just like Trucking. There is always gonna be some idiots are not gonna strike with you.

What other business do you tip the worker before the work is done?
@@tonyxcom they can't put the gas they burned back into the tank...
Required tip is an oxymoron.
@@bossbrent can't put gasoline back into the tank...
@@tonyxcom most businesses will put a lien on your property, report you to credit agencies or not let you leave the establishment without paying.
Taxi drivers felt the same way. Welcome to your own bed
Taxi drivers can get dishonest with passengers by jacking up the price while atleast with uber u know the price ahead of time.
@@funsun311taxi drivers lease the car and have to pay the dispatchers
@@funsun311 As truly independent contractors, they are actually free to charge their own rates
@@bossbrent not unilaterally true. Many own their own vehicles. Especially token cities
20 citys and international
They should form a union. I thought ride share is not a full time employment for the drivers.
justiceforappworkers
They should go get jobs like the rest of us.
If they don't like the work or the pay they should quit. If they want to be in a union, become a taxi cab driver.
They're contractors. Not employees.
@@tonyxcom Uber put all the taxicab companies out of business
They should pay 20 an hour in California like the fast food restaurants
Yeah, that won’t have any consequences. Many of those fast food workers will have a rude awakening this year.
They're trying that in Portland. Its absolutely devastated the drivers because
nobody is ordering anymore due to the cost.
Every week
I'm happy for this..as a food delivery driver u want customers to tip..but the problem is with the company higher ups..
As a customer I want my food delivered after it's been picked up, not after the driver picks up and delivers another customers food first. We don't always get what we want.
@@tonyxcomyou can get that if Uber eats prioritizes your delivery, which requires you to pay more. The driver has to follow uber's directions.
The problem is the Uber takes too big a cut as middleman. Customers pay too much and drivers receive too little.
@@Pirapo65 Both the customer and the driver are free to choose who they work for and do business with.

01:14 If you really want to prove a point to Uber and send a message to them, then DON'T WORK FOR THEM!
They dont even have enough clients anymore, Valentines day was horrible
I'm driving to pay off my student loan because I don't expect ya'll to pay for it. Better off working graveyard shift at Del Taco.
Uber is dum for that statement. They calling y’all bluff 😂 they said it’s not enough of y’all. Don’t let them get away with that statement!

You have to strike for a quarter to get the attention of the big wigs. Not enough people striking.

Uber and Lyft Lie!!!!!
Problem is this was never meant to be a full time job. people have tried to turn it into that. They've quit there steady job to be there own boss and work there own hours. Reality has now crashed in people are stubborn don't want to go back.
So a side hustle canw justify that 50 percent (at least) take rate? What kinda of logic is that?
Too bad it will make no difference, all drivers would have strike for a month to put a dent in this mess.
Dara stop playin with my money
You heard
I NOT NEED RIDESHARE DRIVERS
I CAN TAKE A TAXI I ALWAYS DO
SINCE UBER AND LYFT BEGAN THEY OVER CHARGE MORE THAN TAXIS LOTS OF TIMES .
I WATCH HOW THEY NOT HELPING WITH LUGGAGE EVEN WITH OLDER CUSTOMERS
YET THEY WANT MORE MONEY. THEY ARE A JOKE .
STOP COMPLAINING LEAVE

Gas was cheaper. And most are still doing it for supplemental income, which is now more vital to have more than ever.
a required tip is no longer a tip.
@leandromondelez1205did they wear the pink mustache for the first bump bwahahaha

Even though you think you’re making $18 an hour that’s net profit gross after gas oil changes maintenance. Rideshare insurance you’re making $12 an hour you’re making $20 an hour. Your gross profit is $14 an hour.
so almost double the minimum wage to make your own hours. Pretty much exactly as advertised.
