The Japan TimesRide-hailing services have been spreading across Japan amid a growing shortage of taxis and the absence of public transportation. <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/06/japan/ride-hailing-services-spreading/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/06/japan/ride-hailing-services-spreading/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#japan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ridehailing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ridehailing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transportation</a>

Under a local law, drivers are supposed to be paid even for the time they spend between trips. But Uber and Lyft found a money-saving loophole: Simply prevent them from logging into the apps, erasing some of their working time from the record. Because these so-called lockouts happen without warning, and can last anywhere from several minutes to several hours, drivers have had to work longer to keep their wages up. And in many cases, they can’t.When Bloomberg first reported on the existence of lockouts, Uber and Lyft said they were locking out drivers only during periods of low demand. But the practice has been more pervasive, widespread and financially damaging for drivers than previously understood, a Bloomberg investigation found. These lockouts occurred almost every hour of every day, according to the data, which included more than 800 drivers, or roughly 1% of registered drivers in the city. They even happened in high-demand areas, leading to some increased fares because there were fewer cars available for hire. By making drivers seem busier on paper, the companies set themselves up to save as much as hundreds of millions of dollars in driver payouts, according to Bloomberg estimates — all while telling the drivers, falsely, that the lockouts were required because of the law."<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-uber-lyft-nyc-drivers-pay-lockouts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-uber-lyft-nyc-drivers-pay-lockouts</a>

Recently, More Perfect Union got some drivers in a room to see how this works — and how those drivers can be offered very different rates for the same rides, if Uber’s algorithms have enough data to believe they’ll accept a lower payment.On top of that, Uber has continued to fight against the rights of workers in the United States and beyond. Earlier this summer, Ed Ongweso Jr. wrote about a deal in Minneapolis that, on its face, seemed positive for drivers, but was actually a compromise from the council to after Uber and Lyft threatened to pull their service in the city. More recently, a court in New Zealand ruled that the contractors who brought a case against Uber were in fact employees, setting up the potential for a wider reclassification. Instead, the extreme right-wing government currently leading the country announced it planned to change the law to make it easier for companies to ensure their workers can be — and will remain — contractors.Once again, Uber is not only keeping its own workers down, but potentially hurting those in other industries too. How long will this company continue to get away with the harm it causes to workers on such a global scale?"<a href="https://disconnect.blog/roundup-uber-is-cutting-workers-wages-globally/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://disconnect.blog/roundup-uber-is-cutting-workers-wages-globally/</a>
