No they should all be accountable! And having a union would make that happen as well as having the bonus of making drivers not live in abject poverty!

And your genius avatar to support that cause is the one driver fired for dropping a person on the side of the road in a wheelchair. You have... strange strategic priorities

There are 100s of people sexually assaulted each year by Uber drivers but because you didn’t see their viral tweet I guess that doesn’t matter.

Is it your experience that unions always do a better job of "policing their own" than management or external institutions Because sometimes that may be true but there are many obvious cases where it isn't (teacher's unions going to bat for a member who committed assault)

no but management is pretty much always at cross purposes so it doesnt matter. Even that settlement you mention neglects to resolve the fact that uber heavily disincentivises accommodations for the disabled it just shifts all of the burden onto the workers.

As I said when this first came up, obviously everything about Uber would be better if drivers had company-owned vehicles or, failing that, Uber provided compensation for cleaning and interior maintenance as a matter of course

However, the idea that drivers NEED this kind of support to comply with the ADA is false And it is deeply rooted in ableism It doesn't actually cost you anything to let a wheelchair user or a service dog user ride in your car It's easy and it's free

no but getting the animal dander out of your car so you don't get complaints that could cost you your job isnt.

Uber drivers are *required by their contracts* to take service animals. Stop conveniently ignoring this.

Yeah and the NFB settlement required that the ADA training be separate from the general training, be in the form of a video you have to watch explaining the policy in full, and be retaken multiple times per year to stay on the app

It is not ideal - in person training where they can physically verify you were there and agreed to the rules would be ideal - but it is, I think, as extensive training as you can practically implement while still keeping an all-virtual onboarding process

In an ideal world they would offer paid training and mentoring positions to the highest rated drivers and have them on-board new drivers with ride alongs and practical assessment.

So a minor aside from me, and I really don’t understand it: Why is everyone trying to get Uber to be a better ethical employer when their stated aim is to fire all the humans and replace them with robots.
