Ever taken an uber?

#21
The bulky name "Occasional Traffic Law" hides a small revolution that can be fatal to the business model of the US travel agent Uber: Uber drivers are treated like taxi drivers - they have to charge the same tariffs, combat prices are prohibited and Uber- Driver will soon need a taxi exam. This closes a legal loophole that allows the company to cut wages.

The US travel agent Uber has been active in Vienna since 2014 and works with numerous rental car companies and over 2,000 drivers. The ride service can be booked via smartphone, the fare is not fixed in contrast to the taxi: it is determined by yourself. And there is one thing above all else: the price war with other taxi services. But that is at the expense of the driver.

UBER: COMPETITORS COMPETE WITH MARKET PRICES FROM THE MARKET
Capital injections from Goldman-Sachs and from Saudi Arabia make it possible for uber to offer competitive prices. The aim is to push competitors out of the market with extremely low fares. The initial losses are accepted or compensated for by the poor pay of the self-employed drivers.

UBER DRIVER ON DUMPING WAGE
Dinko drives for over. He gets between 2.50 and 25 euros for a trip - 25 percent of it goes to uber. He has no influence on the fare itself, which is determined by himself.

When he started, he had to advance 400 euros rent for the approved uber car. He drove eight hours a day for ten days - and had just earned 1,000 euros. 700 euros of that went for the car rental and the tank. As a self-employed person, he also has to pay his social security from the money.

Dinko drives at least 50, rather 60 hours a week to make ends meet - without entitlement to unemployment benefits or sickness benefits.
