Re: It's called piecework
Here in the United States, this isn't being discussed AT ALL. The focus remains on rude comments coming from the Uber leadership. Never the exploitation of the workers, which is immense.

Uber, Lyft and cutting corners: The true face of the Sharing Economy

I'm honestly shocked to see this article. From what I've seen, The Reg is the ONLY journal telling the real truth about Uber.
The other media focus on comments by the CEO or this rudeness towards women or the comment made by the Uber exec about slandering journalists. All of those things, and similar issues have importance but at the end of the day they are all distractions from the real Uber story that The Reg is covering here.
BRAVO!!!!
And in fact, it is even worse. I would like to see The Reg cover the predatory auto loans Uber is pushing on to immigrant drivers with no credit history. Women in men I have personally spoken with are paying $1,000/month for a Toyota Prius or Camry. Why isn't that being reported on?????
