Not surprising, things that make Rose Twitter look bad tend to get "ignored" fairly quickly. Like the ableist and antisemitic attacks on a wheelchair user who reported Uber driver for ditching her.

I’m not on “rose Twitter”. I do remember that Uber thing. It sucks that people said ableist things that’s very fucked. But trying to get a person doxxed and fired from their job by blasting them online is also very fucked.

Ditching a woman in a wheelchair on the side of the road when you were hired to drive her is fucked.

Agreed. And she could have just contacted Uber privately and not use your enormous platform to doxx and fire that person.

The driver who ditched her charged her for the ride anyway. He deserved to be fired. Fuck that guy.https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/woman-says-uber-driver-denied-her-ride-because-of-her-wheelchair/2029780/ …

Yeah he can just get another job. It’s not like gig workers are the most precarious and growing group of workers in the US or anything. It’s not like most gig workers are dangerously below the poverty line already. He shouldn’t have been fired. He needed a union.

If he were an actual employee and did this he'd be fired. The only reason he wasn't was because of how Uber abuses their employees. Two wrongs don't make a right.

If every Uber driver was an actual employee then the hundreds of times this happens to people who aren’t famous and can go viral would be fired too. So i stand by what I say.

Okay so firing is good now? Are we on the same page about that? Because this is literally one tweet down from "he didn't need to be fired, he needed a union"

Also, you are obviously ignorant about this issue It's been discussed, a lot The National Federation for the Blind sued Uber over this, and as a result of this Uber was required to have regular mandatory ADA compliance trainings and a one-strike-and-you're-gone policy

As part of their settlement, NFB regularly has "test riders" - volunteers who are disabled and use service animals who intentionally call rides on Uber on a regular basis The settlement says if drivers cancel a test rider and are not immediately terminated, the suit reopens
