Sharing cars have changed dramatically in the first two years, from illegal to legal. The taxi drivers who marched all day long were finally squeezed out of the market. And that's the end of the fairy tale? Of course not。 Yesterday the UBER driver announced a two-hour strike for the first time.
This contrasts with previous taxi-driver strikes, and it is not long before the UBER is legal in Australia.
The reason for the Uber driver strike is that Uber started a new business, the UberPool, which means that when two people are on the same line and at the same travel time, they can choose to take the same Uber, so that they can get a discount price. But the driver's reaction was that they were earning less.
A group of Uber drivers went on strike between 7: 00 a.m. and 9: 00 a.m. on Monday in response to the situation. The organizers of the event did not publish their names, fearing that they would be kicked out of the system by Uber.
Another problem with Uber's legalization in Australia is that many full-time Uber drivers are unable to meet the minimum wage because of Australia's minimum wage requirements. Of course, Uber denied that there was an employment relationship between the driver and Uber. The Equity Commission is continuing to investigate whether Uber's contract with drivers complies with Australian law.
With the global rise of the shared economy, many people have brought convenience, but on the other hand, it has also brought negative impact. Many of the giants have made huge profits after their success, but others have fallen into cheap labour exploited by capitalists, not even meeting the minimum wage. On the other hand, low prices make services unprotected, lowering industry-wide standards. For example, on AIRTASK, there are a lot of 20 yuan to design a LOGO list. You know, even in OFFICEWORKS, designing a LOGO costs $299.
