Slave labor at the very least

11949 Views 73 Replies 27 Participants Last post by  hanging in there
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.

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.

No, big markets are suffering as well. They have hundreds of drivers and cheaper fares.

It's not any better for uberx in nyc, getting worse by the day, oversaturation of cars with cheap fares.

Well keep on dreaming, because racism and Uber exploitation are here to stay.
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.
They give free cars AND healthcare in Canada?

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.

slave la·bor
noun
  1. labor that is coerced and inadequately rewarded, or the people who perform such labor.
How again is this not appropriate to uber?
