The notion of Uber being a drive-hailing platform means that actual and potential drivers alike, most of them will be independent contractors that only take driving as a side job in their free time to earn some extra income. In a sense, choosing to work as an Uber driver is the way they choose to spend their legal paid holiday, or even after their primary job, when they are still felling productive. The ‘productivity’ effect in this case is therefore only limited at best, as it only affects the small portion of ‘full-time’ drivers that take Uber driving as their primary job and income. Such argument would be even weaker for potential drivers. As Uber is now obliged to pay existing drivers even when they are not working, Uber will have to either raise fares that can result in less demand to the service, or to cut cost by limiting the number of drivers on its platforms.
In the article “Uber Sends Lobbyists to Help Reshape California Laws” by Alison Vekshin it states that “The San Francisco company's lobbyists are pushing lawmakers to exempt its drivers from obtaining commercial licenses before they can ferry passengers” (1). According to Vekshin “Uber has spent almost $1 million since 2013 on lobbyists in California” (1) in order to push for the legislation they want passed. As well Vekshin states that Uber is “backing legislation that would let the companies charge split fares for shared rides and a bill that would exempt its drivers from having to get commercial license plates” (2). This is a threat to interest groups that support taxicab and limousine companies because it is stealing business from those

I would like to bring to you my story with American Airlines, hopefully to get some justice for what have been done to me by American Airlines. My story with American Airlines. It seems that we are living in a great hypocrisy. Some of us advocate for something, but in reality they practice something totally different. I am going to share and expose American Airlines one of the largest airlines in the world and show the world that dishonesty and thievery do exist even among multi billion dollar companies or maybe better to say especially among billion dollar companies.
The injunction application against UberTAXI, UberX, and UberBLACK filed by the City of Toronto has recently been dismissed by a judge with the Ontario Superior Court. Judge Sean Dunphy stated in his ruling that the City of Toronto failed to demonstrate that Uber was in breach of Toronto 's municipal bylaws. The City of Toronto argued that Uber placed public safety in jeopardy by operating a limousine service and a taxicab brokerage business in an illegal manner, and sought to shut down the ride-sharing service unless it secured a valid municipal license. Uber conveyed that it was simply provides the service of linking passengers with limo and cab transportation services, as opposed to operating a limousine or cab operation.
Uber drivers in California feel that they have been misclassified as independent contractors by Uber. They have filed a lawsuit claiming that they should be treated like employees of Uber, thereby making them eligible to avail a range of employee benefits like reimbursement for driving expenses, vehicle maintenance, overtime compensation, minimum wage and driver tips. The court in its first ruling granted class action status to the suit by ruling that all drivers who have contracted with Uber directly and in their own name, but not through intermediate companies, be considered as a class. Uber responded by rolling out a new driver-partner agreement to all drivers, making it mandatory for them to accept the agreement in order to drive. The agreement,
ARE UBER DRIVERS EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS? Two options are open if you are employed and interested in the Uber business. You can choose to quit your employment and dive deep as an exclusive uber driver, or you can keep your job and use your spare time to ride and earn with Uber. One factor that should profoundly influence your decision is the fact that as an Uber driver, you are an independent contractor who is self-employed. As an independent contractor, you sell services for Uber, but you don 't work for them.
For my coop work experience I have been working in two places such as at chiropractors’ office and enrollment services at Clark College. As a member of the chiropractor team I have experienced performing variety of office duties. I had the opportunity to closely interact with patients, helping them achieve the best health of their live. On a day-to-day basis, I had a chance to leverage my full range of organizational and multi-tasking skills with complete ownership over patients scheduling, office flow, documentation and other file processing. I scheduled many appointments throughout the day, greeted patients while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere confirmed with patients by making phone calls.
It has been twenty years in the making to create myself. I started out sheltered. So to say, hidden from the real world. Being born and raised it out it the middle of a corn field was rough, but not what you would consider rough. It was all about take it or leave, or fix it or do without.
Becoming a truck driver was the last thing I thought I would be doing. I was a child care provider and loved it. I never could see myself doing anything except caring for children and then this wonderful opportunity came along and changed everything. I realized things sometimes don’t go as planned especially in this changing economy, and that’s when the most adventurist, scariest and yet fulfilling career change I have ever made was staring me in the face. I have never been in a truck before so I had an array of emotions and thoughts when I went to school to start learning about this big truck that was both scary and exciting at the same time.
On September 8, 2008 I arrived to the hospital at six o 'clock in the morning to get induced to have my first daughter due to a blood clot I had in my leg. The nurses first told me to change into a gown. Shortly after they hooked me up to the monitors to hear the baby moving all around. Also to track her cute little heartbeat. Another one was to monitor my contraction and watch them on the screen.

The examination additionally demonstrates that the expanding number of drivers, together with developing disappointment with customary taxi benefits particularly in new, exploitable markets are the greatest open doors for the American organization sooner rather than
4. Proposed Recommendations and Justification 4.1. Change of Business Strategy Given the company’s market position and the current industry conditions, it is recommended that Trans-Cab should focus solely on renting its taxis to prospective drivers and to create brand awareness among the public. Traditionally, taxi operators earn revenue through taxi rentals and by charging commission from taxi-bookings their drivers accept through its general packet radio service (GPRS) booking systems. However, with the introduction of taxi-booking platforms, such as those of GrabTaxi, commuters and drivers do not have to rely on the dated GPRS taxi booking services.
