The CEO of Uber makes 25 million a year and customers are still guilt tripped into paying out massive tips just so the drivers can break even... This entire industry needs to collapse, but there are also questions as to why labor laws are allowing this kind of thing to begin with.
The average rent for a studio/bachelor apartment in Toronto is about 1.4k a month, and this person only earned 17% of that 6 weeks. No one's making a living doing this.
Anecdotal, but as a person who orders ubereats from local area regularly, I have a strong sense that they prioritize car delivery, then bike delivery, then walk delivery, even for relatively nearby trips. My guess is that car deliveries saturated most of the areas the reporter was visiting, so she was at a disadvantage. That may be where the stat at the end comes from - that she was getting 4x fewer order than typical - since the typical delivery worker may be getting more just because they have a car?
The problem is ….this is a job that literally anyone can do. You don’t need any education, language skills or qualifications, you’re not asked to be there for a specific time ….why would u get paid the same as someone with those things that doesn’t make sense to pay someone so highly for such a low level job
race to the bottom. this comment makes no sense. all labour needs to be paid fairly for a functioning society otherwise you get crime and unaffordability
Great video concept. Overall good video. With viral potential but lacking some more youtube tricks to go viral. Needs a better thumbnail and title, pacing is a little slow. Missing curiosity gaps. I work with big channels. There's my free advice no one asked for.
see the problem is your thinking of this like an office job where you earned some sort of social status to get in the office.. this is a job anyone can do so its almost looking the otherside of a job post and letting many people tackle the work for a smaller percentage.. maybe u want a Salaried 9-5 gig structurs.. that isnt anybodys biz or problem just your personal preference..
hi, sorry u r wrong about anyone being able to do this job ... look outside, how many women do u see? I can count on my two hands the number of female couriers i ran into over 6 years. What about when the weather gets suboptimal? Yeah. Now 99% of the courier force is indians for uber, cause they r cheap desperate slave labour. there used to be constant surge pricing outside of summer (even a bit during), now even around xmas holidays the base rate is the same since the indian flood. Too many drivers.
She's in the Toronto business district which is the best area for this. You're being ignorant. Many of us pay rent & raise families doing this work on a bicycle. Come on out sometime if you think it's such a joke.
ridic story yet again by The Star maybe Ben Spurr going on again abt ZIPPO. This line abt uber eats requiring moving around yadda yadda.. makes no sense.. its just looking for work like anyone else who wasnt on that platform that would be looking for work only these guys know people will order and they will deliver.. what part dont u get..???
@shimmy_fpv thats like many things.. theres huge amounts of temp agencies that at least get ppls foot in the door that otherwise would be OOLuck. Its a different model/fashion UBERs etc that operate supply demand nnd all any sort of silly red tape would do is tip balance which would entice less customers.. the larger their footprint the easier it is to carry out A to B trips which can result well for the driver on good biz days.. this is very mch a keep it simple4both sides and both sides will prosper type thing
I read the article online, but this ... THIS is was even better!

Great reporting!
I know several people making a decent living delivering food. This crybaby reporter doesn't know what she's doing

You’ve just made me change my mind about investing 2k into getting an e-bike plus equipment. I’ll just keep applying.
well an ebike is stil nice to have to get your around the city, if you keep it for several years it would be worthwhile
Are some not suppose to be in the country?
It's also the same in vancouver BC .

The opening line sets the commie stage. 😂

everyone deserves a dignified job. every job should be a dignified one

first off......using a bicycle is a total joke....you need a car
You won't make any money that way, gas plus wear and tear eats into the majority of what you make. That's why you see so many people on bikes

Generally most employers have to provide things like benefits. Uber does not. They are exploiting their workers to make a buck
