Uber Drivers Are Employees, Not Contractors, Says California Labor Commission
siddesu writes: The California Labor Commission has ruled Uber drivers are employees and not independent contractors. The ruling has serious implications for Uber's business model, since it will now be required to offer its drivers benefits that meet the requirements of the Californian labor laws. "Uber had argued that its drivers are independent contractors, not employees, and that it is "nothing more than a neutral technology platform." But the commission said Uber controls the tools driver use, monitors their approval ratings and terminates their access to the system if their ratings fall below 4.6 stars." Uber has previously suspended drivers for registering their cars as commercial vehicles.
Be a cab company and claim not to be.
Violate the law about cabs and pretend they don't apply to you.
Generally be a bunch of self-entitled assholes who think they magically get to decide what laws apply to them.
Act like whiny fucking spoiled children when the world doesn't see it your way.
Fuck Uber. The assholes who own it are just delusional dicks.
FUCK YOU cabbie. You stink and so does your cab. Go buy some deodorant and have a shower at least once a day.
Yes, they defy the laws of physics to cram a whole gallon of water into that single nut. None of that extra water is recovered, as it's sent into the 11th dimension, where it will join the left socks via the portal in every electric dryer I know of.
