    Because Uber spends money actively fighting against paying the people who work for them a living wage.

      If these people had any leverage or unity they would get what they want. When these “fighters” are weak and unable to bargain for the wages and conditions they want all they have is whining about “uber bad”.

        Hard to union when they are contractors with no direct way to communicate. Not to mention the company “contracting” them can just stop servicing the areas where the union talks are cropping up.

        Is it possible? Yes. But extremely unlikely unless a major player in the union world steps up and pours in a shit ton of effort.

          True. Hopefully they unionize more and get more leverage and get better wages at some point!!
