Uber & Lyft charge the driver .24 cents from every dollar for insurance when driver only makes 90 cents per mile on most times & zero cents per minute...and who in the right mind would agree to a $2500 insurance deductible? What Uber doing is what Craigslist is doing for free. But, Door Dash, Lyft, Uber's cut (trip take rate) is between 35% to 85% from passenger payment, unbelievable. For a start, Gig apps should pay the independent contractor (the driver) same as what France passed for new 2024 rates: $1.70 per mile for the vehicle (or 1 Euro per Km) AND minimum $0.55 cents (or Euros) PER MINUTE for driver's TIME/effort. And those rates should run like a stopwatch on the phones on every second & miles (Km) driven, separately like an old taxy cab meter. Talk of hourly wage is relevant -- if the vehicle ( a company car), fuel, maintenance, insurance & etc provided by rideshare COMPANY only -- currently none of the vehicles are by rideshare companies, it's all driver owned. hence pay drivers how France is charging the passenger/customer, the old taxi company way.

Uber, Lyft, Door Dash would show a surge (busy) area to me, but once I go there, there's no surge there, so I don't follow the surge. Another e.g. Lyft would send me garbage trip that pays like $0.90 cents per mile (actually all Lyft trips are garbage) & in the bottom mention, you're going to a busy area, but once I go there, it's the same scam in that area too -- 0.90 cents per mile but no money for minutes I have to waste whether it's 20 minutes or 50 minutes trip. I definitely stay away from long trips: e.g. from Fremont, CA to San Francisco, CA is 40 miles, 50 minutes in normal traffic, and they charge the passenger between $100 to $120 dollars. -- But you know how much the world's greatest scam companies pay me for that 50 minute, 40 mile trip is: Uber pay me $28 & Lyft pay me $23. Please if you can & don't mind, ask the driver to cancel the ride once they arrive for pickup & pay the driver cash $100 for that trip or Zelle the money or Venmo the money or even PayPal...

Hence, I AM DAMMED IF I DO & I DAMMED IF I DON'T. Welcome to Uber, Door Dash, Lyft, Grub Hub, Roadie & etc driver life. Corrupt, stupid California politicians passed a law called Prop 22 saying for a mile Gig apps should pay at least 0.34 cents per mile (when Federal rate is 0.69 cents for using your own vehicle for company use, so is California cheaper than other states?) & must pay at least $24 dollars per hour for the driver. So what Uber, Door Dash, Grub Hub do, they pay only $24 dollars per hour no matter how many miles driven because a law says at least $24 dollars is enough. -- Instead of paying the driver separate rate for miles driven for using the driver's own vehicle & another rate for minutes on booked time for driver's Time/effort. This is so corrupt. I almost all the time, receive zero Prop 22 adjustment pay from Lyft at the end of the week because of the above 2 clauses.

@@PhyuckYew You don’t drive so why care? And wouldn’t you want most or at least a fair amount to the driver getting you to your destination? Why hating? I ride Uber often too and I tip big because I know they need it. I don’t want them getting ripped off. We just want fair thats all.
Gotta find jobs for the millions flooding across the border. In one breath they say black people steal cause there arent enough jobs, while in the next they claim we need mass illegal immigration cause we dont have enough people to fill jobs...
Dear passenger , please don’t be surprised if your driver ask you to pay with cash or Venmo + apps as Uber and Lyft continue to take about 70% of the fare and as a result we are forced to do direct business with passengers and remove the middle men , thanks for your understanding, also ask the driver if he want to convert the trip into cash app and remove the middle men
not as easy to do unfortunately. when this job works, it actually works just fine. its just the constant lying and stealing that is frustrating eveyone. all these companies say that their take rate is anywhere from 20% to 30%. well thats clearly a lie, its more towards 60% to 80%. in some cases that ive seen, its even more but those are very rare. this strike for everyone. both customer and the drivers. sure drivers can leave and find new jobs but the companies will keep doing this and abuse the independent contractor laws. This can also set an example for other companies to treat their contractors in the same way. imagine every company for any field paying like this and abusing the independent contractor system and then paying low amounts to everyone regardless of their work. just a couple of years ago uber wasnt as bad they are now, but after doordash started to offer this weird kind of randomized pay, uber followed suit and then suddenly all the gigs started doing the same thing. if the striking works, drivers will need multiple strikes. the more we decline, the more time is wasted for the driver, customer and the restaurants. all of this can be fixed if they pay us better and atleast provide some sort of security. driver will accept an order and can get to the customer faster. restaurants wont have to potentially waste food by cooking it and then keeping it for hours. in rideshare, customers wont have to wait too long to get a ride. and drivers can be paid what they are owed. no matter what happens, people like this service and the service wont be going away but this strike will make it at the very least very annoying for these companies to deal with. everyone should be paid fairly for their work regardless of what the work is. hopefully you understand how important this situation is.
No. Not everyone is able to take better jobs. So it's not an immediate change. When anyone says this, it implies that finding a better job is easy for everybody, which is not true.
These jobs pay what they do because, as long as you're not a criminal, you can work for them. You don't have to do an interview or prove you have any skills, whereas other jobs do.
I have been stopping Uber, this is insane… this is not charity. We are here to make money. I drive 2 hours the other day for 30$. Never again. I am going to be very selective from now on
Real jobs do not exist anymore unless someone is a smart investor just take the money and run there is too much greed by the companies that make billions and pay 20$ an hr to employees
regardless of whether anyone is forcing them or not, no company should abuse their employees or contractors like this. no company should promise one thing and then not deliver on it. no company should say that their cut is 20% - 30% and the remaining is the drivers but then take 60% - 80% of the entire payout. no company should charge customers so much with so many unnecessary fees that the customer thinks that the driver is getting most of the pay when in fact its the company pocketing everything. no company should have driver support, that instead of helping the driver complete their order or ride, makes it even harder on the driver to complete it. no company should reduce the pay of the driver when the tip amount is higher than a certain amount. no company should say that a longer mile delivery/ride pays more but then pay the driver the bare min which is around $3 to $5, regardless of miles. no company like these should exist. there is so much wrong with these companies and even if people leave them, others will come and then they will be exploited too. this strike is meant to show everyone that these companies are not what they seem. a few years ago doordash was found only giving giving their drivers $10 regardless of tip amount. a customer would have tipped a driver $30 and doordash would have given the driver only $10 from that $30 and pocketed the rest. it was the customers who found out about that and helped drivers. customers can help the drivers again this time too.
You can't be exploited if you choose to work these types of jobs. I just to be a part time driver for Uber/Lyft. Once I started doing better making a lot more money at my day job, I stopped driving.
It's crazy that people have to be negative about someone's fight in life. We all fight for good and bad, every day. Just because my fight is different than yours or yours different than mine, that doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful to other people who are "not" asking the government for free stuff like these immigrants. Drivers are asking for something that belongs to them but Uber/Lyft steals it, that's their money. In order for a driver to keep a car on the streets to pick up riders it takes 30% of pay. Then, 40-50% of pay to feed their families and pay rent. But, Uber/Lyft takes 70% of fares expecting drivers to do everything with 30%??? That's impossible! Imagine anyone cutting into your money taking more than their share, it becomes a huge f'ing problem. No company should ever be allowed to take more that 20-30% of fares. The moment you allow this, is the moment drivers drive for free because now drivers are breaking even and staying broke with a 30% pay while drivers do 80-90% of the job. Uber, all they do is program their A.I technology to be heartless and corrupt to the bones. Then, Uber/Lyft lies about what they do with a smile but it's just for show. Next time Dara pops up on t.v, look at his demeanor, it's the devil in disguise, telling people what they want to hear. Dara has to lie because if the truth was to come out how he scammed both riders and drivers....he'd be finished!! Also, for those that don't know, show compassion for others and support someone else's fight because we're all just trying to survive. Peace ✌✌✌✌ "Also, go tell all the dead drivers families that got shot in the head by a rider or by car jackers to be grateful their love ones atleast had a job with Uber."
@@BlossomyPen6275 Actually it's easy to quit. It is just you convinced yourself that those app companies are the only way to make money. There are many ways to make money which way easier and faster than those Gig apps and more money, minus the headaches and BS.
this is exactly what i wanted to know, did the customers have trouble.. no. all the gig tubers are cheering in success, but what did you succeed at? creating high surges for the drivers that worked?? you will never unite enough drivers for this to matter and uber already doesn't care about YOU and they know they have over saturated the market enough so that this will never hurt them. none of these passengers even shocked at higher prices.. i bet they didn't charge them one extra cent and uber foot the bill, they know you'll all be right back out driving tomorrow, and some were only on strike for a few hours and went right to work.
Did that lady seriously say “and that’s before taxes” referring to the published potential hourly rate??? LMFAO. Please tell me a job that talks about hourly rate after taxes 😂😂😂😂
@truthiscensored By definition it is not a job, you are an independent contractor. Don't like the contract?, Don't do the delivery or take the ride. Your call, welcome to being your own business.
@@Numba1hunna83then they complain about gas, insurance, maintenance etc. Did these people think they were gonna get a company car when they signed up for this?
@@Jimbosliceeeeee420You probably know nothing about this and only learned it as of today so I will be enlightened to educate you about it. With the previous CEO, we were able to get fair pay but now with change of CEO our wages have gone down dramatically. 75-80% is what they are taking and they are thieves. It did not used to be this way.
As a part time driver Sadly there are a surplus of drivers gladly willing to take what Uber is giving. I hope this is taken into account and wages are improved nonetheless.
As a driver, PLEASE!!! use an actual photo on your rider profile. We have been asking for this for years as a safety issue an Uber and Lyft have not made it mandatory for passengers using the app.
Because then drivers would just not pick up black people and as one myself I dont blame them 😂 these woke companies will never force photos. The second it happens you will get customers crying "raycisss!!"

@@PhilthyGemini Anything under $125,000/year is not a living wage in my neighborhood area. We just gave to survive on what is available on the market or available on The Streets.
@@bossbrent They need to have state assembly or congressman to legislate it. California has made legislation to regulate them. However, it was not enough as repair and insurance inflation took a toll on the drivers.
Not every driver agrees with drivers protesting Uber. I drive for both Uber and Lyft and there are more pros than cons. The pay and profit they are making are based on how busy it is and depends on if ridership is low or high. This is a slow time of the year and the pay will go up when ridership increases
People should stop accepting trips that pay less than a dollar a mile minimum. Maybe even $2 a mile. $3 a mile is honestly more of a fair trade. But at minimum $1. People who take trips that pay less than that are messing it up for everybody else on the platform.
1 mile is approximate 1 minute, then $1/mile is $60/hour. The greedy company fixed the program in the app. to pay you about 0.50c or less per mile. If you do not accept it, they will lower your ratings to junk status where no rides or order comes to you. The company programmer fixed it to take advantage of the workers. Now do you know how if works against any driver?
Who's going to stop those illegal aliens from taking those trips? Who let them into the country? Who voted for the people who let them into the country? Look within yourself, and you'll find the answer. Use your brain the next time you vote.
On a day they could make BANK, they decide to strike. It only hurts themselves not people at Uber or customers. We can take public transport, we can get other Lyft, Uber, Waymo rides. Just know, there is always someone more hungry, eager and willing to work and make money on the surge pricing based on the less rides and more demand. Really doesn't do anything to anyone other than yourselves.
Uber taking every restaurant 30 percent but they only paying drivers 3 dollars and 2 dollars per delivery. One order takes to deliver 20 min. Government min asked they pay one dollar per km.
These jobs are not meant to be full-time jobs. They are not full time Uber employees. They are not getting wages or salaries, but just cashing on fares. Why not looking for a real job with a real employer? That's the only way to get higher pay and better working conditions. Beside, Waymo and others are going to eat them alive. Being a Uber driver will soon become another thing of the Past. Better start to find a new job.. a real one.
So just because they are cashing in on fares, the app companies should take a big portion of that fare? Because "is not a real job"? Taxis have been a real job for decades.
$33 where? I have never seen this anywhere in Toronto. If you drive uber eats you make around 12 dollars per hour before you even remove money for gas, maintenance. If you do uber drive then the average is 20 dollars per hour before you remove money for gas and maintenance.
Lol, these drivers acting like they turned down a job at Meta or Goldman Sachs to drive Uber. Face it, these are the people that would be waiting tables or washing dishes if it wasn't for platforms like Uber. They should be grateful.
Not agree with you, not every Uber driver is uneducated. Some do it because is just flexible and for tax write off benefits. The people who do Uber black they earn equal or more than a lawyer and engineers.
my god man, if you haven't gone through this then you might as well not speak. i really hope you never go through something like this. there is nothing to be grateful about. every single day they lie to our faces and to the world saying that they treat their contractors fairly. we are barely treated as an independent contractor. a real contractor sets their own rates, chooses which work they want to accept without fear to repercussions. this strike is meant to show everyone what these companies do and how they lie and cheat and steal from both the customer and driver. this is for the customers as well as the drivers. we are asking for fair pay in regard to the work we have to do. if all we are given are orders for 10+miles order then the pay should reflect that. we are not asking for $60 per mile or some ridiculous pay.
Good...i remember when Taxi drivers were complaining about ride share, then the ride share people said that they were just doing rideshare for extra money. In the process, a lot of Taxi businesses went under...the irony😂😂😂
As a DoorDash part time delivery guy ..😂😂 this is complete bull shit man wtf they sign up for that shit not their fault they can’t find a decent job … these people are too entitled 🤣
That's why the traffic in the fast line was moving today. I used to think semi-truck drivers were the worst but Uber/Lyft guys are the absolute worst people on the road with their 3 cell phones on their windshield, their rear view camera cam filming forward, doing 60 in the fast lane with 30 cars behind them while they look for a ride, randomly stopping in the middle of the street with no flashers on, blocking driveways, parking wherever you want because you're sitting in the car so it's ok even if you're across a crosswalk or causing cars to go around you. You all make the roads so much more dangerous than it has to be. Strike FOR WHAT!
Average 21 per hour minus expenses, gas, car lease, and maintenance, equals you're paying them to drive! You'll make zero money unless you work 20 hours a day! Facts!
There are two major reasons. 1. They make the rules to benefit themselves and stakeholders. 2. The more drivers you have the less money people can earn. I currently work for Uber. 2 yrs ago I was making fair wages. Now Its almost impossible to make minimum wage. They are not worth the effort anymore.
Get a real job then? I live off my job why can't you? Maybe look elsewhere for employment. There is no solidarity amongst drivers because most use it as supplemental income. The majority of drivers have a stable income that's separate from the volatile market of food/ride service.

strike away. I guess we'll all just go back to what we did before Uber and Lyft. You are basically doing a simple task that people do every day anyways, and it was never intended to be a career. I'm no fan of Uber or Lyft, but basically driving around a taxi is not a good way to go through life
Speak for yourself you still living in 1980s narcissism. Get up to date driving is a job like anything else. Your lame life philosophy sounds like Scientology = fake news.

So yes for me it was a good investment @@EUZ890
They just need to stop taking so much from the driver's fare. There is no reason why they take so much from the fare charge. All the app does is connect you to a passenger, so they should lower their cut and pay it to the driver on top of letting the driver keep all the tips.

I would be careful doing this. If the company catches on to this they could easily deactivate your account.
15 dollars to go 14 miles which takes 30minutes with traffic in the bay area not worth it
Workers in different industries are protesting for better pay. Auto, medical, teachers, etc. I hope the drivers can get their share of the pie.
if the drivers dont like the wages, change to a different job. is that not what everyone else does??
not as easy to do unfortunately. when this job works, it actually works just fine. its just the constant lying and stealing that is frustrating eveyone. all these companies say that their take rate is anywhere from 20% to 30%. well thats clearly a lie, its more towards 60% to 80%. in some cases that ive seen, its even more but those are very rare.
this strike for everyone. both customer and the drivers. sure drivers can leave and find new jobs but the companies will keep doing this and abuse the independent contractor laws. This can also set an example for other companies to treat their contractors in the same way. imagine every company for any field paying like this and abusing the independent contractor system and then paying low amounts to everyone regardless of their work. just a couple of years ago uber wasnt as bad they are now, but after doordash started to offer this weird kind of randomized pay, uber followed suit and then suddenly all the gigs started doing the same thing.
if the striking works, drivers will need multiple strikes. the more we decline, the more time is wasted for the driver, customer and the restaurants. all of this can be fixed if they pay us better and atleast provide some sort of security. driver will accept an order and can get to the customer faster. restaurants wont have to potentially waste food by cooking it and then keeping it for hours. in rideshare, customers wont have to wait too long to get a ride. and drivers can be paid what they are owed.
no matter what happens, people like this service and the service wont be going away but this strike will make it at the very least very annoying for these companies to deal with. everyone should be paid fairly for their work regardless of what the work is. hopefully you understand how important this situation is.
No. Not everyone is able to take better jobs. So it's not an immediate change. When anyone says this, it implies that finding a better job is easy for everybody, which is not true.
Exactly. Preach. @andy_182
Funny that you are not aware of what kind of struggles in this world. If it would easy to change their job, probably they would.
this guy must be 12 year old lol, so do you endorse uber taking all the 70% cut and continue all this exploitation?
Too many Uber driver out there who wanna make money doing nothing, we need dishwasher or waiters or construction workers but ppl don’t wanna work
These jobs pay what they do because, as long as you're not a criminal, you can work for them. You don't have to do an interview or prove you have any skills, whereas other jobs do.
so that means they can always take 70% cuts? sounds like you are on the same boat as uber lol
I have been stopping Uber, this is insane… this is not charity. We are here to make money. I drive 2 hours the other day for 30$.
Never again.
I am going to be very selective from now on
why don't they go out and apply for a real job?
What constitutes a “real” job?
Real jobs do not exist anymore unless someone is a smart investor just take the money and run there is too much greed by the companies that make billions and pay 20$ an hr to employees
Exactly .
Americans are dissatisfied. especially californians ....We have been neglected with no pay
I’m so proud of all you drivers that stood up 👏🙏🪬🧿
No one is forcing them to work there. Get another job easy as that
regardless of whether anyone is forcing them or not, no company should abuse their employees or contractors like this. no company should promise one thing and then not deliver on it. no company should say that their cut is 20% - 30% and the remaining is the drivers but then take 60% - 80% of the entire payout. no company should charge customers so much with so many unnecessary fees that the customer thinks that the driver is getting most of the pay when in fact its the company pocketing everything. no company should have driver support, that instead of helping the driver complete their order or ride, makes it even harder on the driver to complete it. no company should reduce the pay of the driver when the tip amount is higher than a certain amount. no company should say that a longer mile delivery/ride pays more but then pay the driver the bare min which is around $3 to $5, regardless of miles. no company like these should exist.
there is so much wrong with these companies and even if people leave them, others will come and then they will be exploited too. this strike is meant to show everyone that these companies are not what they seem. a few years ago doordash was found only giving giving their drivers $10 regardless of tip amount. a customer would have tipped a driver $30 and doordash would have given the driver only $10 from that $30 and pocketed the rest. it was the customers who found out about that and helped drivers. customers can help the drivers again this time too.
in this market? easier said than done buddy
Exactly .
You can't be exploited if you choose to work these types of jobs. I just to be a part time driver for Uber/Lyft. Once I started doing better making a lot more money at my day job, I stopped driving.
Not everyone has a choice of jobs.
Exactly lol - no idea what they’re striking
They take 50% of fairs and expect you to drive more for less pay. What a buss.
How about a strike to lower costs instead of continuing raising prices
How do you strike when you’re an independent contractor and can leave when you want, and you CHOOSE to work for these services lmaoooooo
It's crazy that people have to be negative about someone's fight in life. We all fight for good and bad, every day. Just because my fight is different than yours or yours different than mine, that doesn't give you the right to be disrespectful to other people who are "not" asking the government for free stuff like these immigrants. Drivers are asking for something that belongs to them but Uber/Lyft steals it, that's their money. In order for a driver to keep a car on the streets to pick up riders it takes 30% of pay. Then, 40-50% of pay to feed their families and pay rent. But, Uber/Lyft takes 70% of fares expecting drivers to do everything with 30%??? That's impossible! Imagine anyone cutting into your money taking more than their share, it becomes a huge f'ing problem. No company should ever be allowed to take more that 20-30% of fares. The moment you allow this, is the moment drivers drive for free because now drivers are breaking even and staying broke with a 30% pay while drivers do 80-90% of the job. Uber, all they do is program their A.I technology to be heartless and corrupt to the bones. Then, Uber/Lyft lies about what they do with a smile but it's just for show. Next time Dara pops up on t.v, look at his demeanor, it's the devil in disguise, telling people what they want to hear. Dara has to lie because if the truth was to come out how he scammed both riders and drivers....he'd be finished!! Also, for those that don't know, show compassion for others and support someone else's fight because we're all just trying to survive. Peace ✌✌✌✌ "Also, go tell all the dead drivers families that got shot in the head by a rider or by car jackers to be grateful their love ones atleast had a job with Uber."
The world is only make up by wolves and sheep. At the end, the wolves win and the sheep loses. Sad.
Then quit!!

@@BlossomyPen6275 anyone can quit tho...?

some have bills to pay and have no choice
Uber said FU
this is exactly what i wanted to know, did the customers have trouble.. no. all the gig tubers are cheering in success, but what did you succeed at? creating high surges for the drivers that worked?? you will never unite enough drivers for this to matter and uber already doesn't care about YOU and they know they have over saturated the market enough so that this will never hurt them. none of these passengers even shocked at higher prices.. i bet they didn't charge them one extra cent and uber foot the bill, they know you'll all be right back out driving tomorrow, and some were only on strike for a few hours and went right to work.
Did that lady seriously say “and that’s before taxes” referring to the published potential hourly rate??? LMFAO. Please tell me a job that talks about hourly rate after taxes 😂😂😂😂
I was gonna say the same thing. Her math is off.
Yes! It’s time! You deserve it. Uber never give a shit about drivers! This company is crafty! Uber sucks!
This was never meant to be a career, It's a side hustle. Don't like the pay get a real job.
What Defines a "Real Job"?

It did not used to be this way.
@@MsEddieparkceo wants the money for themselves
As a part time driver
Sadly there are a surplus of drivers gladly willing to take what Uber is giving. I hope this is taken into account and wages are improved nonetheless.
They never should’ve supported prop 22 then
As a driver, PLEASE!!! use an actual photo on your rider profile. We have been asking for this for years as a safety issue an Uber and Lyft have not made it mandatory for passengers using the app.
Because then drivers would just not pick up black people and as one myself I dont blame them 😂 these woke companies will never force photos. The second it happens you will get customers crying "raycisss!!"
You wanted benefits. You wanted to be treated like a regular employee. Guess what? Now you’re getting paid what normal taxi drivers you all out of business got! You all should have stayed independent
They are independent. They not employees of the Gig Apps. You totally confused on the situation
Organize and you won’t have this issue. You can also expand your skill set and get a higher paying job.

The strike is weak. It did not even make a dent on these companies.
Yeah It never has
@@bossbrent They need to have state assembly or congressman to legislate it. California has made legislation to regulate them. However, it was not enough as repair and insurance inflation took a toll on the drivers.
Chief Thief Dara is underrated 🤬
Not every driver agrees with drivers protesting Uber. I drive for both Uber and Lyft and there are more pros than cons.
The pay and profit they are making are based on how busy it is and depends on if ridership is low or high. This is a slow time of the year and the pay will go up when ridership increases
$33 my ass. The Maybe for Uber LUX and Uber Black. The drivers wouldn't be Striking if that were true.
Remember, you made money off the platform doesn’t mean you’re employed by the platform, you’re NOT an employee of Uber by all means
People should stop accepting trips that pay less than a dollar a mile minimum. Maybe even $2 a mile. $3 a mile is honestly more of a fair trade. But at minimum $1. People who take trips that pay less than that are messing it up for everybody else on the platform.
1 mile is approximate 1 minute, then $1/mile is $60/hour. The greedy company fixed the program in the app. to pay you about 0.50c or less per mile. If you do not accept it, they will lower your ratings to junk status where no rides or order comes to you. The company programmer fixed it to take advantage of the workers. Now do you know how if works against any driver?
Who's going to stop those illegal aliens from taking those trips? Who let them into the country? Who voted for the people who let them into the country?
Look within yourself, and you'll find the answer. Use your brain the next time you vote.
33 per hour lol lies , how about the media actually open a driver account and do investigative journalism,
Someone stick some bubble gums on my velvet car seat without me noticing it. The whole BS is not worth it.
Love how the news only talks about how it's not really impacting people. Like it wasn't the point
It was probably telling the audience that the protest is weak.
Exactly!!! They always end with Ubers opinion, like thats the truth and we're lying. Its so frustrating!!
On a day they could make BANK, they decide to strike. It only hurts themselves not people at Uber or customers. We can take public transport, we can get other Lyft, Uber, Waymo rides. Just know, there is always someone more hungry, eager and willing to work and make money on the surge pricing based on the less rides and more demand.
Really doesn't do anything to anyone other than yourselves.
Uber taking every restaurant 30 percent but they only paying drivers 3 dollars and 2 dollars per delivery. One order takes to deliver 20 min. Government min asked they pay one dollar per km.
32hr where, not here in NJ
Better go look for a real job for that sweet $32 an hour
These jobs are not meant to be full-time jobs. They are not full time Uber employees. They are not getting wages or salaries, but just cashing on fares. Why not looking for a real job with a real employer? That's the only way to get higher pay and better working conditions. Beside, Waymo and others are going to eat them alive. Being a Uber driver will soon become another thing of the Past. Better start to find a new job.. a real one.
So just because they are cashing in on fares, the app companies should take a big portion of that fare? Because "is not a real job"? Taxis have been a real job for decades.
I hope not
$33 where? I have never seen this anywhere in Toronto. If you drive uber eats you make around 12 dollars per hour before you even remove money for gas, maintenance. If you do uber drive then the average is 20 dollars per hour before you remove money for gas and maintenance.
And you pay gets lower during traffic.
@@phillipchan6919 yes
Lol, these drivers acting like they turned down a job at Meta or Goldman Sachs to drive Uber. Face it, these are the people that would be waiting tables or washing dishes if it wasn't for platforms like Uber. They should be grateful.
Not agree with you, not every Uber driver is uneducated. Some do it because is just flexible and for tax write off benefits. The people who do Uber black they earn equal or more than a lawyer and engineers.
@@verite3066 Then they shouldn't complain.
my god man, if you haven't gone through this then you might as well not speak. i really hope you never go through something like this. there is nothing to be grateful about. every single day they lie to our faces and to the world saying that they treat their contractors fairly. we are barely treated as an independent contractor. a real contractor sets their own rates, chooses which work they want to accept without fear to repercussions.
this strike is meant to show everyone what these companies do and how they lie and cheat and steal from both the customer and driver. this is for the customers as well as the drivers. we are asking for fair pay in regard to the work we have to do. if all we are given are orders for 10+miles order then the pay should reflect that. we are not asking for $60 per mile or some ridiculous pay.
@@Leo-gh7nzwhy don’t you shut your mouth on a subject you’re definitely lacking comprehension
So you look down on waiters and kitchen workers too. Great.
Good...i remember when Taxi drivers were complaining about ride share, then the ride share people said that they were just doing rideshare for extra money. In the process, a lot of Taxi businesses went under...the irony😂😂😂
hell with Ubers. the worst company...
Boy Iber got the media fooled too
Peopel don’t understand no matter
How many strike you have there are always be somebody needing money to work and they know that
As a DoorDash part time delivery guy ..😂😂 this is complete bull shit man wtf they sign up for that shit not their fault they can’t find a decent job … these people are too entitled 🤣
Uber started by saying by breaking the rules, they said they were nothing like taxies. And drivers are nothing like people.
Yeah good luck with that
Uber drivers making about $12 per hours
Nothing will change unless drivers leave the road and do something else, drivers are too scard to leave these company who dont care about them,
That's why the traffic in the fast line was moving today. I used to think semi-truck drivers were the worst but Uber/Lyft guys are the absolute worst people on the road with their 3 cell phones on their windshield, their rear view camera cam filming forward, doing 60 in the fast lane with 30 cars behind them while they look for a ride, randomly stopping in the middle of the street with no flashers on, blocking driveways, parking wherever you want because you're sitting in the car so it's ok even if you're across a crosswalk or causing cars to go around you. You all make the roads so much more dangerous than it has to be. Strike FOR WHAT!
Im sure you know where u can go without me spelling it out.
They also take away a lot of cars from traffic due to passenger sharing. A lot of cars…a lot… a lot…
Those guys never get off their phones
Drivers just trying to make a living!
of course pay cuts wont have any impact because these countries are importing indians who will work for peanuts and slave wages.
100% support demonstrates
Uber and Lyft only connect a driver from a passanger. It charges way too much, it should make less than 20%.
Average 21 per hour minus expenses, gas, car lease, and maintenance, equals you're paying them to drive! You'll make zero money unless you work 20 hours a day! Facts!
There are two major reasons.
1. They make the rules to benefit themselves and stakeholders.
2. The more drivers you have the less money people can earn.
I currently work for Uber. 2 yrs ago I was making fair wages. Now Its almost impossible to make minimum wage. They are not worth the effort anymore.
Uber should give a contract that Uber will only up 20%, not 50%
The only thing “disrupted” by VC’s was the middle class.
Get a real job then? I live off my job why can't you? Maybe look elsewhere for employment. There is no solidarity amongst drivers because most use it as supplemental income. The majority of drivers have a stable income that's separate from the volatile market of food/ride service.
Yes we're tired

strike away. I guess we'll all just go back to what we did before Uber and Lyft. You are basically doing a simple task that people do every day anyways, and it was never intended to be a career. I'm no fan of Uber or Lyft, but basically driving around a taxi is not a good way to go through life
Speak for yourself you still living in 1980s narcissism. Get up to date driving is a job like anything else. Your lame life philosophy sounds like Scientology = fake news.

During the Pandemic I Invested when Uber and Lyft stock was at its lowest and personal going to sell some time soon - With a 120% profit margin ( That like 3 more years of Driving ) and reinvest it were I can collect dividends and have a passive income stream . So yes for me it was a good investment @@EUZ890
They just need to stop taking so much from the driver's fare. There is no reason why they take so much from the fare charge. All the app does is connect you to a passenger, so they should lower their cut and pay it to the driver on top of letting the driver keep all the tips.
