How about $40 an hour for gig work, sounds fair
Taking the bait... If someone is driving me for an hour, the company is getting paid more than that for sure, and I am not certain the driver receives $40.
$40 to drivers. 25%~ cut to company. = $50 an hour charge to riders.
What about for time the drivers are waiting for riders? And gas?
They just need to test the app on running fixed and varied pricing dependent on length of journey
Uber drivers are neither employees nor contractors. They are CEO’s of their own taxi business and choose to use apps like uber and lyft to make it easier for them to find customers. Uber’s customers are the drivers. The paying customers are Uber’s customers customers.

Asians - what are your thoughts on asian female white male ?
Contractors should be able to set their own pay. If an Uber driver can’t set his price for a ride, then he is an employee. I am genuinely curious to see valid arguments against this logic
You’ve never seen all the part time recruiters at msft who are contracted at fixed wage and don’t receive benefits? Contradictions to this definitional approach already exist in troves. Price setting is only dependent on who has more power in the negotiation.
Imo drivers should be able to set their own rates. It's a great idea. Then we can find the clearing price of rideshares. Not sure why Uber doesn't do that now. Don't care about this contractor vs employee thing, it's all stupid semantics anyways. People will believe whatever makes their emotional gut feeling work.
