"Exploitattion".... when people chose to drive for Uber, instead of getting a full blown cab license or work for a fraudster cab company.

I hate Uber for a lot of things, but they don't exploit anyone. If anything Uber is the disruptor that stopped straight up mobs owning the market.

I call pretending that they are self employed instead of workers and doing them out of holiday and sick pay - yeh I call that exploitation.

They are self employed. They drive their own cars. They set their own work schedule. They engage with uber on per ride basis. They can be working for Uber, Lyft and the local minicab all at the same time.

They are not employees at all... and they must figure out their own holiday and sick pay.
