    A look into the 7 reasons Lyft and Uber strike protest doesn't work. There have been many Uber drivers who have gone through the motions of staging strikes for more income or wages. In 2019 there were more involved, but the outcome is typically the same. Nothing changes!
    Lyft drivers and Uber drivers have to understand that there is a lot more to standing outside of a corporate building to get REAL results. To affect the bottom line of a multi-billion dollar company you have to address the 7 things listed below and in this video.
    1. Short Term Effect
    2. Replacement - How replaceable are the drivers?
    3. Public & Government Support?
    4. Can you get Riders to join the strike?
    5. Uber Drivers vs Truck Drivers (Real Power)
    6. Surplus Drivers (people available and willing to do the job in the current conditions)
    7. The Wait Game - You can’t afford to wait Uber out.
    An Uber Lyft strike conversation is valid, but it needs more organization. No matter if you strike today, tomorrow or next year the ending will be the same unless you can address the dynamics above. Everyone wants to report Uber news or make videos about the rideshare business mode, but not many will tell the truth about how hard it is to change it.
    The next time someone wants to organize a strike in a city like Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego or Washington D.C. show them this video.

    I think a lot of people underestimated the power of the
    strike, the strike highlighted labor abuses by Uber and Lyft. Lawmakers took
    notice and now were are seeing tidal wave of regulation and a IRS audit of Uber.
    Uber and Lyft are in hot water, soon they may be forced to pay for unemployment
    insurance, retirement plan, health care subsidies, paid parental leave,
    overtime pay, workers’ compensation, and a guaranteed minimum hourly wage.

I have a really quick question for you though; I live in NC and of course have a NC license but I wanna move to Atlanta to do the Uber flex because I don’t have a car, and for other entrepreneurial opportunities in Atlanta. Would I have to get a Atlanta license or will I be good with my NC license?

    I was recently deactivated from Uber after over 3 years of driving, 2445 safe rides, a 4.76-star rating and multiple rider compliments because a rider didn't feel safe in my car. I log my rides for tax purposes as a small business owner and my clipboard must have accidentally brushed this woman's leg in the front seat. Uber quickly deactivated me, without question; even after I talked with the Uber rep and explained to them that this was a misunderstanding and nothing happened. Bottom line is Calvin, you are spot on about driver replacement! Strikes about pay or anything else related to ridesharing doesn't matter. It is all about Uber and Lyft making money where the customer is ALWAYS correct, regardless of how trivial the customer's issue is during the ride. The driver is simply a contractor handling their own business, and since drivers are at the mercy of Uber or Lyft in the partnership, these companies have the last say in how they want to handle the rideshare business. Drivers are simply small fish in a big pond. Get over it or do something else!

      They DID use them. It’s just that there are so many drivers on UA-cam now that nobody takes them up on it. Uber also made it clear that drivers are no longer allowed to promote their codes to people they don’t know personally.
      Uber is also trying to phase out the codes by lowering the bonus amounts to absurdly low amounts, they sign up bonuses in my market are only $10.

      The Simple Driver 😂 Agreed. However, let’s be crystal. If the pawns truly played their part and backed each other up lol, how effective would the King of Uber be if there were only 10% or less of all of the pawns available in every state? What would the King of Uber do? Deactivate them all and frantically place ads for 90% more pawns to sign up while millions of customers are pissed about the surge rate and off the chart wait time for a driver? lololol...But in my opinion , the rate issues have a lot to do with the over saturation on majority of these markets. Everybody and the Moms is an Uber or Lyft driver now. I moved to Alpharetta from Buckhead and make more than when I was in Buckhead lol 🎯🤣💀

I have two questions: I am renewing my car this insurance with week, would Allstate know if I am working part-time as a driver? Which of the two companies is a better choice to drive for? I am in a pickle financially, so i got to make a decision really quickly. Thanks, guys.

    • @TheSimpleDriver
      @TheSimpleDriver  5 років тому +1

      AllState won't know unless you get in an accident. If that happens you will be in a world of trouble without Rideshare Insurance because they will not cover you. Uber is the best Rideshare company because they control more demand for their services than Lyft. You can do both, but you will get more calls on the Uber platform. Hope this helps.

      The best financial decision is to not work for uber. Download postmates or some other bullshit gig economy app. There are pleanty to chose from these days. Uber and lyft is 5-10k in startup costs for ur veichle. With 5-10k u can pay to learn a trade that actually pays. If u really need the money and dont want to waste ur time, sign up with a trucking company. Atleast u will get paid and get benefits. Some trucking companies dont even charge u anything up front for schooling. School costs is around 3-5k. Less than an investment in a veihcle to be a slave for uber.
      And if u rent a car from uber u will get screwed even worse. Please just take whatever money u have and keep it as far away from uber as possible.
      In terms insurance (and this is not legal advice)
      Most drivers dont report that they drive for uber and lyft to insurance companies. If ur honest and u do, the insurance company will either make u pay commercial insurance (which isnt worth it considering the money u make) or most likley they will black list u and wont sell u insurance or sell it to u at astronomical prices. So most drivers just dont tell the insurance company they drive for uber

    Agree with your points If drivers move on forever and a bad reputation develops with these services then it can kill the business off. For example if cities ban the services from operation world wide, or another model is developed that is better and driver's flock to that.Or if people have little disposible income and drop lift services for electric scooter., bicycle or moped.
