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.

I actually agree with this! Maybe the business model of Uber can’t actually be a completely inclusive space because when you don’t treat your employees like employees you can’t accurately apply guidelines that other actual employees would have

Okay but as long as that's how Uber works then people getting delisted for violating the ADA is still an unambiguously good and positive thing

The logic of "It's bad that this one guy got fired this way because all these other people get away with it" is shitty logic, even if it were true And it isn't true - Uber delists people all the time for this because they have to, they made a specific legal agreement to do so

The reason this is an ongoing problem is THERE ARE TOO MANY DRIVERS The churn on app-based rideshare is enormous, it's a selling point - it's how they roll out their service so quickly, anyone with a car can sign up within few days

Oh god, it’s almost like the business model is predatory and broken. ALMOST LIKE THAT.

Yeah okay So as long as the business model exists, and people have no better option but to use it, getting drivers fired is the best defense of disabled customers in this context It's a good thing People should be applauded for it

It's a form of mutual aid It keeps this one driver from screwing over the next person Literally, this is why NFB pays people to go on random pointless Uber trips over and over again to catch the bad apples

THAT IS LITERALLY NOT WHAT MUTUAL AID MEANS

It's disabled people volunteering their time and labor to help other disabled people and stand in solidarity with their community at no immediate benefit to themselves
