Uber is locking New York drivers out of its apps and blaming a city pay rule

  Ah, so they don’t want to pay drivers for down time so they just lock people out of “clocking in” when it’s slow. That’s pretty shitty. Pay your drivers for being idle, just like you have to pay people for being on call.

      No, getting paid to be on call is a good thing/s

    People get paid for being on call? I live in the south so maybe things are just different shitty here

      I’m in Texas. They are shitty and looking to downgrade.

    My province (BC Canada) is in the process of implementing regulations that force a minimum wage, but only when the driver is “on the job”.

    My first thought was that uber will just prioritize the fastest (aka most reckless) drivers. This kinda proves that point… I guess we’ll see where this all goes.

    They don’t have to be on call though. They can drop in any time.
