Fair play, looking out for their drivers.

Quote

As CNBC’s Lauren Feiner reported, Khosrowshahi asked President Donald Trump for help on Monday, both in a letter and on Twitter, for the sake of providing relief to out-of-work gig and platform workers. “I respectfully and urgently request that the economic stimulus you are considering, along with any other future legislative measures in response to COVID-19, include protections and benefits for independent workers, not just employees,” Khosrowshahi wrote.

Free Now, by contrast, advises it's drivers to give discounts and wash their hands.

Uber is not asking for the money for themselves - they have $20 billion in the bank, $10 billion of it in cash! 
They're asking for money for their 'partners' who often live in their cars because they get paid so little.
