Hearted Youtube comments on More Perfect Union (@moreperfectunion) channel.

  1. A week ago Uber paid me $28 for a long trip and I asked the rider how much he paid , he said $48.98 . $28/48.98 = 57% . That is , Uber took 43% and leaving me with 57% while I am responsible for the car , gas , maintenance, inspection, registration etc literally everything except their platform. Uber and Lyft are ripping off drivers. Until drivers get together to file a lawsuit against these robbers they will not stop . Zero transparency.

  4. As a Denver driver of over 5 years, I thank you for this story because passengers do not realize how bad the drivers are really getting screwed. These companies are completely out of control.

  6. As a retired teamster truck driver, i will stand with them, i will walk the picket line, i will donate to them while they are on strike and most important i will not order ANYTHING from anyone who ships ups till they get what they are asking! UNION SOLIDARITY!! its the only way to curb corporate greed

  7. “Why is UPS making billions on profit?” Because no company as big as UPS care about their workers. The employees are doing absolutely nothing wrong here. May the strike be glorious

  8. I stood on a picket line the last time, 2007, when the Writers Guild of America went on strike. Its' probably time for it to happen again, and I wish the best for those who stand up against the corporate greed that is causing this ever diminishing rate of returns for creatives who make the shows possible.

  10. Had a friend do Uber eats on the side and they hardly made $10 per delivery. Some were low as $5 for 20+ minutes drive and one order was $80 and only received $9 out of it. Not only does uber rips off the drivers, they also rip off the customers with those ridiculous high "service" fees

  11. Always love your stuff. Your reach is also greater than is reflected by your in-app stats, many of the leftist Twitch streamers I've noticed, will watch all your new uploads with their streams, the moment they hit. So that's like, one view, that's actually being seen by an audience of 200, 700, 2,000, 20,000... Don't underestimate the impact you're having!

  14. Sure this can be construed as Trump vs Biden. The whole point of these viewpoints really comes down to COMMON ground and that those who supported president X because they were sick and tired of corporations raking it in and letting the common person suffer for their cost cutting, actually agree on A LOT. That's powerful. We need politicians to get on this message and to make giant pushes towards corporate liability and the controlling of unlimited CEO and share holder pay which is making employees poorer and poorer.

  16. I drive for Uber only. They started charging the customer more towards the end of Covid 19, and paying the drivers less. I was one of the first 100 drivers in Albuquerque in 2014. When I started @ 80% of the fare. At that time, they showed us what the fare was. Since the current CEO lost 8 Billion dollars we have been getting less per ride. I have never seen anything about us getting a smaller. I percent. I signed up because they offered us 80% of the fare, then after six months to a year new drivers were offered 75%.

  18. When I hear these young men I get that they are upset and frustrated. Their grievances are my grievances. I couldn’t be more opposite of them on the political spectrum but we have common ground. We need to educate ourselves on our shared interests because we must unite to change our his system.

  19. I work for an insurance company (a he mentioned here) for 10 years! They are the devil. The work very hard to not pay so they have higher profits but they’ve been sued so often that the rules were constantly changing. Keep suing!

  22. I remember hearing years ago that UPS was a great job. I don't hear that anymore. Now I know why. I stand with the workers. Strike if you need to. I'll drive to Target if want something.

  24. Thank you MPU so much, you should know that one of the biggest fighters for this privatization scam is Illinois Policy Institute part of the 50 state initiative to screw unions and are bought and paid for by the likes of Charles Koch, The Mercers and other billionaires who have their own agenda in mind and not the good of the common folk by any stretch, Betsy Devos Diaper Don's secretary of education was not an accident.
