ut to accept these significantly<br />
different terms of contract.<br />
RSDU therefore conclude<br />
UberPool is designed to (further)<br />
mislead drivers under the<br />
false “independent contractor ”<br />
classification while cutting their<br />
rightful fare pay even further. Uber<br />
drivers have no control on most<br />
aspects of “their business”, and it<br />
seems that their contract can be<br />
significantly changed by Uber at<br />
any time and they have no say on<br />
the matter but to accept the new<br />
terms or be out of a job.<br />
RSDU therefore calls on all drivers<br />
to refuse UberPool requests until<br />
such time as Uber increase rates<br />
of such jobs, address drivers’<br />
safety concerns and pay for<br />
the additional effort required<br />
by drivers to pick up UberPool<br />
passengers.<br />
Drivers are better off driving for<br />
other operators like Ola, Didi or<br />
Taxify, that don’t currently use<br />
shady tactics like “upfront pricing”<br />
to mislead drivers or (grossly<br />
exploitative) Pool trips.<br />
They normally charge drivers less<br />
in commissions. Ola and Didi<br />
will even show the destination to<br />
the driver before the pickup. Also<br />
some offer daily/trip bonuses as<br />
well as free driver commission<br />
trips during busy hours of the<br />
day, while still being able to offer<br />
a very competitive trip price to<br />
passengers together with great<br />
free introductory offers.<br />
Please drive safe at all times.<br />
