content: Uber drivers I have talked to like the way it's set up. It's certainly voluntary for everyone involved. They can even start and stop working whenever they like. They can work in any US city without asking their boss for permission. In fact their boss is the customer. I love how well Uber drivers treat me.    I had one driver with MS. I highly doubt he could have gotten a taxi job.  Taxi companies would not invest the money on special controls. In his case Uber enhanced worker rights.
