The only way we can fight it is if all drivers fight it. For every driver that stops driving, there are probably 2 more lining up to join and other drivers who could give a shit about how much money they aren't making.

A better way to possibly get something done would be to get lots of drivers to sign a petition and forward it to ASIC who may have something to say about Uber's insistence on calling drivers "Independent Contractors". Though I'm not sure how ASIC view the Taxi industry, maybe someone who has been in that industry can comment.

The whole trouble with trying to fight Uber over the 20% they take that they don't pay GST on is this: If fair work, the ATO, ASIC or whoever turns around to Uber and says you must charge GST on your take so the driver is not out of pocket. Uber relents and says ok. Uber controls the rates and can simply adjust our rates down giving some bullshit excuse about being busier and you are still no better off.

The only way it could possibly be resolved would be if Uber were forced to pay a minimum $ for min and per km. I can't see any department having the power to enforce this.
