What if the gig economy were to suddenly change its stance on worker protection? That's exactly what we're talking about in this episode where Uber and Lyft made a jaw-dropping $328 million payment to drivers. This monumental moment raises eyebrows and questions on the potential impact on workers. We slide into this discussion with my personal experiences on the road, including why I turned down work this weekend due to an inadequate bonus.
Ever wondered what it's like to be in the same space as iconic figures from pop culture? Join us as I recount my recent trip to Comic-Con, where I had the pleasure of meeting the voices behind Spongebob and Goofy! As we drive along the podcast highway, we also discuss the guaranteed protections and benefits for New York State drivers and an intriguing story of a Vice reporter's Amazon listing. Buckle up as we take a sharp turn to a close call an Uber driver had and the advantages of driving a mini-van.
As we cruise towards the end of our episode, we throw in some light-hearted stories from the road. The tale of an Uber driver who left a romantic letter for his passenger and an offbeat idea to keep food warm, using duct tape, will make you chuckle!
