Maybe big markets like NY and SF things are different, making decent money for Uber drivers, not certainly in small markets like Ottawa. What is funny that Uber is hiring 10s of new drivers every day.

Slave labor at the very least
It has been 3 weeks since I started to driver for Uber. Here is the summary of my trips for last 3 weeks.
![Rectangle Font Parallel Brand Paper product]()
I made about $782 from 102 trips before the Uber commission and $1 safety fees. And I drive in Ottawa market here in Canada. I think this is well below the minimum wage and Uber's slave labor wages.

No, big markets are suffering as well. They have hundreds of drivers and cheaper fares.Maybe big markets like NY and SF things are different, making decent money for Uber drivers, not certainly in small markets like Ottawa. What is funny that Uber is hiring 10s of new drivers every day.

They give free cars AND healthcare in Canada?For your info, I do have day job that pays me around $45 /hr, and this UberX driving is part-time one. Here is the math:
Hours I put for last 3 weeks: 60 hrs
Total trips: 102
Total fares: $782.77
Gas : $150 ( gas is bit expensive compared to US )
$1 safety fees: ( 102 trips ) * 1 = $102
20% Uber commission : $ 156.55
The net I took home : $782.77 - ( 150+ 102+156.55) = $ 374.22
My hourly pay: $374.22/ 60 hrs = $6.24 /hr
For your info, the minimum pay in Canada is $11 /hr.

If I stop drinking, then you won't see me on the forums, and I'll miss you too much.No you don't, stop the BS, I suggest you drink less beers and come to your senses, $20 hr net, LOL.
Considering that all of us made the choice to drive for a living, I hardly think the term "Slavery" is appropriate.
Sure, the "Driving people around for money" industry has its ups and downs, but I'm pretty sure we're all free to stop driving and get a real job any time we want.
