A. They did fine before Uber.Plenty of out of work taxi drivers ready to jump in and help.This is how "Progressives" destroy everything they touch. They pass a law in California forcing the gig economy to classify it's drivers and delivery people as employees. The legislation went even further to include freelance photographers and journalists. The result was a loss of jobs right off the bat. The very left wing Vox, for example, who championed the legislation, had to cut ties to contributing authors because of the new rules. Now more than 100,000 rideshare drivers who rely on the service for a living or for supplemental income are on the brink of losing their jobs because leftists in California decided they had to "help" them.

LOL, I guess you never saw the inner workings of a medallion carrying Taxi owning company?
The thing with Uber was they had standards. The cars were clean and new, the drivers were rated and vetted. Now you will go back to old taxi companies with unknown drivers, shitty old cars, and terrible customer service.
Uber didn't have to do anything to take over from the medallions and black cars in NYC except not be horrible.
I've actually had to call in on a NYC yellow cab that refused to take me to Queens at 2 AM, and not Nassau border queens, central right off the LIE queens.
With Uber you get service without the bullshit.

A Criminologist Says Uber's Crime Report Is âHighly Alarmingâ
In its first compilation, the ride-hail service says there were more than 3,000 sexual assaults related to Uber rides last year, up 4% from the year before.www.wired.comUber’s first ever safety report discloses 3,045 sexual assaults and nine murders in the US last year
An unprecedented data dump on ride-hailing crime and crasheswww.theverge.com
the ones doing sexual assaults at the rate of 8 per a day in 2018? their commitment to "reduce" not "stop" not numbers?
but how serious can they be when they stop their own investigators?
Uber stopped its own investigators from reporting crimes to the police
“We’re not law enforcement.”www.theverge.com
or here where the assault section is fun.
REPORTED LIST OF INCIDENTS INVOLVING UBER AND LYFT | Atchison Transport Services
Uber’s process for onboarding drivers is dangerously negligent. Neither Uber nor Lyft uses fingerprints or law enforcement to background-check their drivers. And Uber doesn’t even bother to meet with drivers in person before allowing them to ferry passengers. The result is a series of incidents...www.atchisontransport.com
now you can go on wanting to use uber and love it. not my point here. but to say they are vetted and a lot safer? can you please describe this vetting process?
uber found a way around all the laws and requirements cab companies must follow. i figured sooner or later it would come back to them and sounds like we're getting there.
well that i can't really deny. my cab experiences are usually drive fast, hold on for dear life, and prepare for some shifty moves along the way to save a few minutes.which drivers?A.

In my experience the drivers are far more knowledgeable, the cabs are cleaner, and the ride is hassle free. I've had 2 drivers out of hundreds of Uber trips that I had to report, one for safety, and one because he clearly wasn't the driver on the license.
Two.
Meanwhile my "me no go to queens" rate back in the day was one in three.

i will fully admit i use uber over cabs these days, i just seldom do ride sharing at all but like the option. i also feel if a company wants to hire out contract labor like this, they should. i don't have to use it if i don't like it. my opinion is pointless here. their business, let it go. but some people get a craw up their ass about contract labor and seem to want to kill it. when i worked at microsoft back in the 90s, we were told you get 6 months contract labor and you must hire them. so we ended a lot of contracts and started new ones with new people every 6 months.
those under the contracts were pretty happy they had a job at microsoft and could "audition" for full time employment in real time. many were hired from those ranks. many were found "wanting" and simply not hired and let go. very few of the people who liked working at MS were happy about the rules MS was forced to use.
by and large i think uber is fine as a company. i really only use uber eats anymore cause i'm a lazy shit at times.
in the end, i think california is full of shit about this regardless of ubers safety record. pointing out a few articles was simply not sure how vetted they are, not that this isn't a problem they can't work on.
Imho, Uber is the latest Wall Street scam, designed to fatten speculators by exploiting drivers.
What you are failing to consider is that the Drivers weren't even working in the transportation business before Ride Sharing was invented in about 2012. No one is exploiting anyone. Uber OFFERED an opportunity and they accepted. No one was bound to take it, and if they didn't care for it, they could stop at any time.

Were any of these drivers clamoring to become employees or have the leftists "help" them?

I don't think so. A lot of people who drive for Uber do it as a sideline racket, often intermittently. They signed up because they didn't want to commit to a job schedule, etc., they just wanted something they could do in their own car on a schedule they wanted. I don't think that Uber was ever that anxious to force people and write them up for attendance, and all of that either.
California is doing more a favor for itself, as they can force the Uber people into unions.
