UBER

Whatever happened to the european court of justice ruling that was due this year ?

[john m]

New Irish government proposed laws .....Core terms of employment within five days of staff beginning work including the expected duration of the contract;
The rate or method of calculating pay;
What the employer “reasonably” expects the normal length of the employee’s working day and week to be.
If the employer does not provide those details within one month, they will be deemed to have committed a criminal offence.

does this mean rideshare casual work is not allowed or are UBER drivers self employed ?But how can you be self employed if you only depend UBER for your fares .

"London mayor Sadiq Khan has appointed the capital’s first chief digital officer (CDO) ... Camden Councillor, Theo Blackwell ... will take the lead on work to digitally transform public services and turn London into the world’s smartest city”. Barcodes on your head lads........cashless society promulgated by Uber and the rest of them.

FG to introduce new laws to cover casual work not to protect the worker but to make sure they get their bit of tax to many casual cash in hand merchants like rickshaw drivers deliveroo office cleaners women cleaning houses as you say LIP cashless would cut out the black market .

Don't see what Uber have to do with it but the banks are pushing towards cashless with or without us.I think they're offering some deals if you use yer AIB card to book a Mytaxi cab.And they're also sponsoring Flag too.Cost them to accept cash but they can charge users for card payments.Our own banks are gonna screw us before Uber gets a chance.

Had to squeeze it in somewhere and Johnny always has something to say...just threw it in. Our own banks will shaft us alright....it's their business to do so.

Passenger of mine today was telling me cash is on the way.  He pays his milkman by e-transfer!  Apparently, the milkman prefers to get paid electronically a week later rather than cash in hand day-by-day?

Anyways, got where we were going and the fare was €14.  Gave me €15 and 'keep the change'.  Wonder if I would have gotten that tip if he'd paid me electronically?

No app customers don't tip often,it's especially noticable this time of year.It's another reason they drivers don't bother working apps.

See then we all just stop doing mytaxi work and do the streets
Cash there

[Rat Catcher]

To be fair, a lot of mytaxi clients who pay by card have preset tips, usually 10%.

[mercenary for hire]

I'm not seeing that during the day.App customers don't tip in my experience.This is just one example the other months are similar.

Back on topic does the governments proposed bill mean that the likes of deliveroo or UBER will have to guarantee working hours and minimum pay or can they get off the hook by saying that operators are sole traders or is it just window dressing that wont make fuck all difference .

[Rat Catcher]

Last time I looked at the figures was before PUC was charged. Had another look now and it has dropped significantly. I suppose a good few punters concluded that PUC negates the need for gratuities.

Would we get guaranteed wages from Uber, mytaxi, Whistle and Flag?

^^^^^^Most of my passengers are suits.My rating is 4.92 even though the car is relatively manky.I think the folks in the office are manipulating the ratings.A few weeks ago my rating creeped up to 4.95 then fell quickly back to 4.89 without incident.They don't want 11.8 year old taxis getting near 5 stars I reckon.Looks bad.I'm pretty sure yer rating is part  of the job allocation algorithm.I'll not  be upgrading for a long while yet.
