During the earliest part of the industrial revolution, workers who were upset about losing their jobs to advanced machinery would throw their shoes into the machines in order to sabotage production. We’re seeing recurrence of sabotage again today, but there’s no more successful saboteur than regulation. Duke University Professor Michael C. Munger explains.

Uber CEO explains why he thinks fingerprinting drivers is ‘unjust’ – Jun. 23, 2016
Kalanick said the reason for not wanting to fingerprint was actually about justice for people who have been unfairly snared in the U.S. criminal justice system. By using other background check methods, Uber gives more people who have been arrested the opportunity to work as drivers. “Imagine a country where people might get arrested who shouldn’t get arrested. Imagine if that country were the…

Uber Needs Regulation!
All you Drivers out there opposing regulation are failing to realize how much Uber needs regulation. The only way you will ever make a fair days wages is by regulation of Uber.
Uber intentionally keeps rates so low that drivers are barely scraping by so that they can control you by manipulation in the form of “surges,” “Guarantees,” and “Other Incentives.” And then, they screw with them so no…

What Are You Doing In My Town?
The Cab Driver scowled at me and said, “What are you doing in my town,” like I should give a shit what he had to say. Even after my Rider rolled up the window, the Cab Driver continued to give me the “stink eye.”
I should have told the Cab Driver the “what is what” for his situation, but as traffic continued to move so did I. Here’s the story and my rebuttal for the Cab Driver . . .
I had pick…

Uber Needs An Association, Union, or Both!
Uber Needs An Association, Union, or Both!
Every large corporation that has a large amount of workers needs an Association or Union to represent the workers in adversarial and contract negotiations. It is simply a “must do” situation.

Do Not Tell Me It Cannot Happen . . . Uber Unification
Do Not Tell Me It Cannot Happen . . . Uber Unification
Probably the hardest thing I have had to face in my attempts to get drivers to unify is the drivers lack of knowledge of what they as a organized body can actually do to improve their lives as drivers for the Ride-Hail companies such as Uber and Lyft. Currently ride-hail drivers nation-wide are working for below minimum wage, are not adequately insured, and as noted recently have no protections…

Is A Strike By Uber Drivers Justified?
Is A Strike By Uber Drivers Justified?
If ever a need for worker unification exist, drivers that work with Uber is it. Uber has consistently lied to and exploited their drivers. Uber as a corporation has demonstrated a complete lack of ethics, manipulated government, and Uber’s long term plans may prove harmful to the US and may endanger the US Economy. Is a strike by Uber drivers justified? Yes! But a strike by anyone that cares…
