Really? Next time you take an Uber, ask your driver how much they'd like it if they abruptly lost their job. Nobody is forcing people to drive Uber, unemployment is incredibly low, it's not like there aren't other opportunities. Some people actively value being able to set their own hours and not constantly have a boss breathing down their neck.
Doesn't the "Uber Driver App" become the boss breathing down their necks, anyway? Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought that if the driver doesn't meet performance goals or doesn't take enough passengers, or satisfy a litany of other metrics, they drop them...
Not all commercial arrangements are legal. Surely you can think of the reasons.
