Shifty Pony posted:i wonder how much money uber has in the bank. just wondering if they will be able to pay up when the class action awards 56 cents per mile to every CA driver since the start of the service. they're not going to bother, there's no point to uber if it actually has to pay any expenses. pretty sure the people running uber will just cash out and run, let the company collapse under the weight of its employment lawsuits, and start uberdriverless six months later

[–]cpvazxt 15 points 5 hours ago Eventually bitcoins will take over, and the companies that coordinate the pickup will be off-shored. At that point, it won't matter a gently caress what the state of CA thinks, and all the workers will be paid tax free.

uber has respondedquote:“Reuters’ original headline was not accurate. The California Labor Commission’s ruling is non-binding and applies to a single driver,” a spokesperson said. “Indeed it is contrary to a previous ruling by the same commission, which concluded in 2012 that the driver ‘performed services as an independent contractor, and not as a bona fide employee.’ Five other states have also come to the same conclusion. It’s important to remember that the number one reason drivers choose to use Uber is because they have complete flexibility and control. The majority of them can and do choose to earn their living from multiple sources, including other ride sharing companies.” http://gizmodo.com/uber-drivers-in-california-will-be-considered-employees-1711956394

"i don't understand why they're not independent contractors. they're told by an agency where to go and what to do and can sign up for shifts just like every other independent contractor. i think they're going to put a lot of people out of work by doing this" --my dad

tom friedmanquote:Given the incredible power that new technologies give both governments and terrorists we need a strong American Civil Liberties Union and a strong National Security Agency. In a cyberage, you should want an A.C.L.U. watching the watchers. But you should also want an N.S.A. watching the superempowered, cyberempowered angry people. Civil liberties absolutists may think the 9/11 era is over, but do the jihadist fanatics who use Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp as their command and control system? We need to worry about Big Terrorist and Big Criminal as much as Big Brother if we want to prevent another 9/11.
