Taxi companies using government to push out competition. Guess a free market does not exist in the UK. Uber fares about to rise.

There's no such thing as the Free Market. Regulations are a necessary aspect of the world.

Even with 280 characters there is not enough room to explain everything wrong with that statement.

With all this Trumpism going on I almost forgot how fun Libertarians were.

Don't worry Libertarians haven't forgotten how repressive the other parties are.

Rules yes... regulations no. There's too many regulations. Besides I thought the point of companies like uber was people were independent contractors and can drive whenever. How do u ensure time off when u make ur own schedule?
-
Uber skirts regulations in most countries by claiming none of the drivers are employees. It's pretty much bs.
-
They are not employees, they are independent contractors. Not bs, business. Works the same for many taxi drivers, Avon sales reps, AngiesList and many other companies.

More Government Orthodoxy prohibiting the progression of open and free society.

Don’t they already get time off? I mean you set your own hours. Not like a standard 9-5 job.

This is prancing stupidity. Instead of concentrating on a fairer engagement contract, the tribunal decides to force the past upon the future and define a digital process in an analogue frame. This is why Britain has fallen backward from the sensible nation to fussy vapidity!
-
Have you ever worked as a contracted worker and not as an employee? It. Sucks.
-
Is that not why I said that the innovation would have been in developing a cutting edge engagement contract? The fact is that that ruling will not stand. The drivers should unite and propose an independent contract with UBER! Stop whining and be responsible!
-
Why "innovate" (read: find a way to screw people) when you can just pay your workers for their time. It's quite simple really.
-
Everyone in Britain’s overworked and undercompensated. The entire British economic model is wrong. You elect the silliest people and expect different results. This is not about UBER. It’s about the bloody future! What’s the point of a stupid ruling that ends up dying on the vine?
-
So getting rid of the few protections workers have as EMPLOYEES and sending them into the Wild West of contracted work is the answer? That makes no sense. Do you have a financial reason to back Uber or something?
-
Are you incapable of reading? I SAID THE TRIBUNAL SHOULD HAVE CONCENTRATED ON A FAIR CONTRACT OF ENGAGEMENT! You know: halfway between an employee and a contractual worker? Because UBER’s business model is the future of work. It’s STUPID to fight it. Best to reform it!
-
We already HAVE a fair contract of engagement: it's called EMPLOYMENT, and all the protections it comes with. The only reason someone might want to do otherwise is to screw workers. Full stop.

Fundamental misunderstanding of an independent contractor. Over-regulatory nuttiness of the EU mindset.
-
The only misunderstanding of an independent contractor is on Uber. They have EMPLOYEES, but they just call them contractors.
-
It's clear you don't Uber. Also clear you have no legal education.

Says the guy who misinterprets the second amendment. Where'd you get your law degree? iTT tech?
