California law solved this problem for workers. But intense campaigning with 10 to 1 spending allowed Uber to overwhelm the driver’s wishes.

Good job. Gig workers take bigger hits than say Uber, postmates, Lyft, doordash etc. Breaking it down, 1 person got rich while the vast (drivers) stayed poor.
Everytime they talk about pay: 17an hour…haha…that does not factor in any costs associated: gas, maintenance, car, car insurance, health insurance, phone, phone plan, taxes fica, SSI, medicaid..etc.

Uber is meant to be a secondary form of income, not a main job. I hope Uber in the UK goes out of business

No body should even consider working for Uber or other similar companies as employees.
It should be a pure contractor type employment.
All your doing is making the barrier of entry much harder for those who just want to do it a couple hours a week.
Plus the entire system is designed that way. Your going against the wind here. Forever and ever.
