Andy Thomashaw was carjacked and robbed at gunpoint by one of his passengers. 'He said it took Uber three days to respond to the incident. That’s when Thomashaw learned he would have to pay for damages with his own money.' | _KellyGarcia__
Lenny Sanchez, of the Illinois Independent Drivers Guild, raises a fist while addressing ride-share organizers.For the past six years, David Crane has been a ride-share driver for Uber and Lyft, chauffeuring passengers across the city for less than minimum wage. He often works 12 to 14 hours a day with no breaks in between. Recently, he found himself working 11 days straight to make up for the cost of rising gas prices and rent.
“Our average pay per minute equals out to right below $14 an hour, which is just about poverty wages right now because of inflation and the cost of gas increasing,” Crane said. “We also need proper representation through a union and better safety.” Along with better pay and protections, app workers are also demanding quality healthcare benefits, reliable bathroom access, an end to unfair deactivation, and a 10 percent cap on all commissions to ensure drivers take home a larger percentage of the profit.
“Ride-share drivers don’t know where their pickup is going to be until they accept the ride and they don’t know where they’re going with the passenger until they pick up the passenger,” Thomashaw said. “There’s really no way for the ride-share driver to know who [the passenger] is and that’s very wrong and unsafe.”
