Uber exploits their workers

Uber is a massive corporation that participates in the "race to the bottom" and undermines decades of worker rights organizing to win better work standards. They dont give their drivers any protections or benefits and drivers have to drive an insane amount of hours to have a decent pay. I have talked to many drivers who feel like they straight up got scammed by Uber - they bought a very expensive car on credit when Uber started, being promised high wages that would have made paying back for the car easy. As Uber added more and more cars on the road to drive down prices for consumers, drivers who bought those nice black "Uber" standard cars got trapped and are struggling to pay back their debt. Their lack of principles has been demonstrated in many other incidences. There is a video documenting the Uber CEO yelling at a driver in a car and treating him like a sub-human. During the JFK Airport shutdown, as thousands of protestors gathered at the airport to oppose Trumps travel ban, unionized taxi drivers went on strike in solidarity. Instead of joining the cause, Uber undercut the pro-refugee strike by decreasing their prices. Finally, there have been many reports of sexual harassment in Ubers corporate office. Ubers values, or lack thereof, epitomize everything that is wrong with the tech world. I hope their downfall teaches society a lesson about valuing peoples labor and creating safe work environments grounded in fair and equitable practices. Innovation should help raise industry standards, not destroy them. #deleteUber
