    Nice, another country where the gig economy suffers a big hit.

    They need to have more countries stomp down on this. It sucks for workers, and just allows greedy C-suites to run away with even more money. Although what is missing here is doing this retroactively and making the CEO pay out of pocket all the missing money for the insurances and taxes.

    • I was in an Uber the other day when the driver started complaining, and rightfully so, that Uber only gives them roughly half of what they make and wondered why?

      I explained how we allow monopolies here or duopolies to give the appearance of competition. In Europe there are competing services, to include functional public transportation, that drive the companies to pay their drivers a fair share.

      Hell, how about you make them point out openly in the hiring literature that the car cost and maintenance is well above what they’re paying you. Most people just think that The money they pay for their car, maintenance and insurance are getting fully covered by what Uber is paying them.
