Yeah, this isnt a minimum wage because they're not even getting paid a wage. They're getting a slice of each customers payment, and if uber really cares about their drivers, they would call for a minimum percentage that drivers receive.

If they're classified as employees, why should they get a percentage? Cashiers don't get a percentage of the total sale at a retail job.

Im not saying they're gonna be classified as employees. Being classified as employees would make ridesharing horribly unprofitable.
