    If you’ve been driving the whole time since March, most have probably encountered it and don’t it at all now. Keeping wasting time and effort.

    As an Uber driver, I’m listening to this corporate clown, wondering… tele-health? PPE? What the hell is he talking about???? I received none of that for free when I was still driving.

    • The Courier

      December 24, 2020 at 6:43 pm

      I did. I received a box of gloves, masks and sanitizer.

    • Gondola

      December 24, 2020 at 6:50 pm

      @The Courier $5 worth of masks when it was too late? What about tele-health? You said “I did” but failed to mention when your last free doctor’s appointment was. In case you don’t reply, I’ll answer for you: Never, that’s when.

    • The Courier

      December 24, 2020 at 7:00 pm

      @Gondola got the ppe about 3 weeks after I asked for them. In April. and I have my own Dr. I don’t need Uber to tell me who I go visit. Fuck you for making assumptions.

    • Gondola

      December 24, 2020 at 7:58 pm

      @The Courier Your reply suggested drivers could get free tele-health. The question is, are you part of the social media army Uber hired to spread falsehoods? I thought it was disbanded after Prop 22 passed.

    • The Courier

      December 24, 2020 at 8:18 pm

      @Gondola I’m not part of any social media army bull shit. That and I don’t need any government or corporation to hold my hand through life. And neither do you. No where in my responses suggested any driver could any free tele-health.

      In case you forgot, you’re a contractor. You can figure this shit out on your own.

    Bloomberg fake news fails to disclose that vaccine causes fainting, anaphylactic shock, permanent injury and HIV positive test results, but fails to offer 100% protection.

  6. Wegderesegn G Zenebe

    December 24, 2020 at 6:29 am

    This is bullshit…using uber drivers as a techno slaves. No chance of vaccinated.

    If they try to give an ultimatum… I guess I’ll be done with Uber.

    Bulshit they shouldn’t get anything first they’re nobody special

    Ain’t getting the vaccine

  10. FrenchJauney

    December 24, 2020 at 5:21 pm

    Fuck that. Uber gives no benefits and treats their drivers like subcontract workers. They are overreaching if they give an ultimatum for drivers. This is against your civil rights and freedoms.

    Drove the whole time with no mask and im still here… Trust me drivers don’t need it!

      There are dead drives who wish they could trade places with you. You can keep commenting from the grave.

      Why do you say that? When drivers make 2-2,500 a week?

    • Day G

      December 25, 2020 at 3:56 am

      @Alpha Male Lifestyle – AML wanna put money on it $2500 per week.

    • Art Breezy

      December 25, 2020 at 3:21 pm

      @Day G what city and state country are you in to make that amount of money in one week because in most cities here in the US in Florida that’s impossible

    If they make it mandatory I won’t be driving for them anymore, I’m not taking that vaccine, no way!!

      Fuck yeah! Feels so good to see more like minded people

    • Jose Lemus

      December 25, 2020 at 11:20 pm

      I driver for both uber and lyft in nyc and i really hope they dont make it mandatory. I’m a healthy young adult and I dont want or need that vaccine. We are claimed as self employed and not their employees. I appreciate it that they are pushing it so we can get it first but it should not be mandatory. I’m good with my airtight plexiglass , sanitizing and lowering windows

    • Humanity Enslaved

      December 25, 2020 at 11:32 pm

      @Jose Lemus unfortunately it will eventually be mandatory world wide. No one will enter the new world order a free individual with bodily autonomy. They will own you. Just be ready to lose everything you ever had in order to keep your soul. If you believe it if not, then you will eventually crumble and take the vaxx.

    Haha your funny I’m not taking that shit.

    Make sure you slave labor drivers get the Vaccine Shot us stock share holders need you to make us Money… Get out there and drive. My stock needs to go higher …..

  20. Ali Banighanem

    December 24, 2020 at 10:44 pm

    Then I will never drive for them. Who can trust this vaccine after what we saw of a bad effects

  21. Ukuri Kurazwi

    December 24, 2020 at 10:45 pm

    They have only 666 drivers worldwide or drive their riders on their app not in our cars

    • Day G

      December 24, 2020 at 10:51 pm

      They have over 960 drivers in my country alone.

  22. Peter Blanchard

    December 24, 2020 at 10:50 pm

    How about a big bonus and more money because we are essential workers. You can take the vaccine and stick it.

  23. Ukuri Kurazwi

    December 24, 2020 at 10:54 pm

    If that’s one of uber’s dreams, it has failed. No African in right senses will have that vaccine. Are we mad? UBER will remain with 666 drivers worldwide. They have been treating drivers like slave, as if it’s not enough, they want us to take the devils vaccine? Bwahahahaha. They must drive their customers on their app, not in our cars. Rubbish !

    • EagleEyes AbbaLove

      December 25, 2020 at 7:35 pm

      You’re right dear ! Unfortunately many Africans don’t believe that that liquid is kind of the mark of the beast. They really believe in what the media says, and are ready to jump on it 🤦🙍

  26. Miriam Danquah

    December 25, 2020 at 12:06 am

    This guy is paid to lie. Uber don’t give a shit about their drivers. I’m surprise they get away with shut they do. Their riders are a pain in the but. They are doing nothing to advocate for their workers. Instead of giving their workers insurance they rather the drivers being put on danger. Tony West God is watching you cause your company are like a slave ship😳😫🤦🙉

    Ah speaking of their platforms it sucks. Tony you de lie. The drivers pay for their own stuff. The drivers can’t even reach you all when situation arises. It’s like playing in a maze. How much did they pay you to lie broda 👨 man😝😠😡😤

  27. Jimmy Simeon

    December 25, 2020 at 4:01 am

    I’m not going to take that shit for u guys

  29. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

    December 25, 2020 at 4:19 am

    One minute they don’t want to acknowledge them as employees but want to advocate for them to get vaccinated? They don’t even make sure the drivers get a fare share of the payments. They didn’t supply my husband with anything to protect himself. We purchased everything ourselves.

  30. Balu Alfred Sdk

  31. nahusenye1

    December 25, 2020 at 4:53 am

    Uber is the most unfair and corrupt company especially for it’s own drivers. IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR DRIVERS, DON’T TAKE 55% OF THE FAIR.

  32. moedem

    December 25, 2020 at 9:49 am

    Make that mandatory and you will lose thousands of drivers , it’s already a joke that we have to take a photo with a mask on before we can start work and agree to the other bullsh!t

  34. Jean Masse

    December 25, 2020 at 6:43 pm

    He’s out of his mind. We’re find with our mask, plastic barriers and sanitizing our cars. Why don’t u raise the prices of rides. Putting surges especially when weather is bad, at rush hour. Get a real customer service dept. Not people who sounds like robots and don’t know what your talking about. He needs to take the vaccine. My family and I are good

    I’m not taking a goddamn thing besides quercetin and zinc, vit d3 and c! Think folks, these people are saying there’s a mutation now but want us to take a vaccine based off the old mutation? Are you really falling for this shit? WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!

  38. jason bachtel

    December 26, 2020 at 2:47 am

    no, what uber did here in ohio is lower the base trip fair from $2.93 to $2.80 also PPE is a joke i been waiting 7 months for a mask. and if a passenger get in my car without a mask and i tell them to get out i dont get paid for the cancelled ride. Uber is just a Joke.

  39. Maurel Antonio

    December 26, 2020 at 3:24 am

    I suggest drivers start looking into getting trades or finding other types of contract work.. The day uber can force me to get a vaccine and the state doesn’t force them to give me healthcare and a 401k is the day I quit Uber

  40. RYAN HALBERT

    December 26, 2020 at 4:36 am

    I sure as hell won’t. I will quit first.

  42. Og Bootsy

    December 26, 2020 at 7:15 am

    This is so dumb…. Drivers are soooo underpaid.. Drivers should protest being forced as a contractor to take the vaccine.

    When saying Communities of Color its…. Suspect!

    Wow a cab company that don’t own a car take 35 % off very cheap fares don’t pay for any repairs.you have to pay your own insurance your tyres. now there saying drivers have to take a vaccine who are the morons who drive for them ?

  45. Richard Jean

    December 26, 2020 at 11:38 am

    WOW ! Look at the number of Dislikes this video has 😂

  46. Pablo South

    December 26, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    So people who have the vaccine and now are “immuned” are so afraid of the people that don’t have🤔.. what??

    People that are getting the vaccine, please ask for a discount to have injected extra brain cells

    Why doesn’t Uber force their riders, the people who take an Uber, to show/update proof he/she having the vaccine?.. because Uber doesn’t care about the public life, Uber just wants to look good. Not only that but their business will collapse, riders will ditch the system and will rather take the bus.

    BTW Uber drivers never received any of this protective gear, like masks, hand sanitizers, lysol sprays, gloves.. none. Uber takes half of their earnings, that’s all they are good for. This PR guy is lying to his teeth.

    Ask an Uber driver next time you take an Uber to see how much he/she is getting paid at the end of the trip right when Uber has billed you.

  47. Black Girl Magic

    December 26, 2020 at 6:07 pm

    Welp time to drive for lyft

  48. Black Girl Magic

    December 26, 2020 at 6:09 pm

    And that is the day Uber will go out of business.

  49. Fanuel Mutiunovava

    December 27, 2020 at 2:13 pm

    I don’t know why people are too much worrying about coronavirus like it’s only diseases killing people in the world whether you take a vaccine or not you will die so what is the use of taking it ?
