One thing that has always been clear about the Uber service is that the drivers are mostly partners, meaning they don’t work strictly with the company, so their profits actually come from the trips they give. For the users and not the time they spend. Manage. This has been seen as an injustice for years, and it seems they are already looking to make a change for the better to end this era of poor pay.
According to what has been commented in the media ReutersThe United States, including everything and Joe Biden’s approval, will implement a rule approval so that Uber or similar transportation services cease to treat their employees as partners or associates. That is, they must accept a fixed rate for the services rendered and not just because they meet travel goals, to which is added the part of enrolling them in medical insurance and so on.
In Mexico, efforts have also been made to ensure that drivers and delivery people have the right to join associations such as Social Security, since to date there has been no progress with these types of services. In fact, they are seeking to implement the law that companies must proceed with action if they work more than 30 hours a week, something that has so far not been achieved with the competent authorities.
Back in the US, Mark Friedman, Vice President of the United States Chamber of Commerce Noted that there are some details that make this potential legislation more complicated to cover, since there are quite flexible schedules for certain people. This may mean that you are doing some sort of freelance work, so there is no obligation to provide company insurance for that part, unless there is already a contract covering a certain period of time.

Editor’s note: Employees who drive people or deliver food are often underpaid, especially because Uber takes a large percentage of their tips. The money the company pays them is nothing compared to the effort they put in for sure.
