美国多地网约车司机罢工:“赚这点钱根本活不下去”
2019年05月09日 09:32 新浪科技
在洛杉矶国际机场附近抗议的司机
新浪科技讯 北京时间5月9日早间消息,据美国媒体USA Today报道,Uber和Lyft司机周三在美国的几座大城市展开抗议,呼吁关注其工资和劳动问题。但当地市民的出行似乎并未因此受到太大影响。
此时正值这两大网约车巨头相继上市之际。Lyft已经IPO,而Uber也即将公开发行股票。
各地的抗议措施有所不同。在洛杉矶,拼车司机联合会(Rideshare Drivers United)呼吁从太平洋时间周三零点零一分开始罢工24小时。当天早晨有数十名抗议者出现在洛杉矶国际机场,但从旁边经过的大量Uber和Lyft网约车来看,这似乎并没有对网约车服务产生太大影响。
在距离机场2英里的地方打开Lyft和Uber应用便可发现,仍然有很多网约车处于服务状态。
在纽约,当地的出租车工人协会呼吁从东部时间早晨7点至9点关闭服务。一些抗议司机参加到布鲁克林大桥的车队中,还有十几名抗议者在华尔街附近举行集会。该协会主席布哈拉维·德赛(Bhairavi Desai)表示,司机们之所以集会抗议,是因为他们受够了被人当做“消耗品”和“负债”来对待。

她还表示,Uber的薪酬系统会根据时间和里程费率来奖励司机,但这与司机的花费不符。“费率被冻结,所以即使这些公司从乘客那里收取更多费用,司机也一分钱拿不到。”
印德·帕玛(Inder Pamar)从2013年就开始开Uber网约车,他之所以抗议是因为感觉该公司在剥夺劳动者。“我(给Uber开网约车)曾经一个小时赚37美元,现在只能赚9.8美元。”帕玛说。
他在2013至2015年间每小时收入达到37美元,每英里3美元,现在每英里只有1.15美元。
“我12小时电话开机,如果去掉花费,其实等于一分钱没赚。”帕玛说,“我要支付油费和养车成本,我还得养家。赚这点钱根本活不下去。”
他展示的最近一份收入帐单是2019年1月份的,但Uber随后已经上调了纽约的最低收入标准。
纽约已经试图帮助打车司机,并在今年1月采取行动,将扣除费用后的最低工资定为每小时17.22美元。根据当地通过的新规定,预计约96%的司机每年将获得1万美元的加薪。
纽约的抗议组织者要求提供能够支持其生活的工资,以保证司机能得到85%的车费,并杜绝司机在未经调查的情况下被平台封杀。
Uber的指导方针规定,如果司机的评分降得太低或者退约率很高,他们就可能无法使用这款应用。此外,如果司机被举报犯有暴力、歧视或骚扰行为,他们可能会立即遭到封杀。
Uber表示,如果司机存在一些不太严重的不良行为,但却能通过第三方的质量改进测试,仍有机会重新上路。
Uber在其网站上表示:“我们正在探索一些方法,为最具争议的案件制定上诉程序。”
抗议者已经在旧金山集会,并计划在波士顿、费城、亚特兰大、芝加哥和华盛顿特区等城市举行抗议活动。

Uber证实,该公司的可用车辆并未出现严重短缺。他们同时表示尊重自己的司机。“司机是我们服务的核心,没有他们我们就不能成功。我们会继续致力改善司机每天的驾驶体验。“
Lyft没有对抗议活动直接发表评论。该公司周二发布了一份声明,称其司机的平均时薪超过20美元,而且大多数司机每周只开10个小时左右的车来补充他们的正常收入。
抗议司机说,如果他们的同事知道抗议活动,就会有更多人加入抗议行列。
59岁的劳蕾尔·赫希曼(Laurel Hirschmann)是洛杉矶的一名Uber司机。“他们中的很多人都不知道这件事。” 她说,“98%的司机和我们一样愤怒。”(思远)

The US multi-country network car driver strikes: "Make this money can't survive"

Drivers protesting near Los Angeles International Airport near the Los Angeles International Airport
Sina Technology News Beijing time on May 9 morning news, according to US media USA Today report, Uber and Lyft drivers in several major cities in the United States protested on Wednesday, calling attention to their wages and labor issues. However, the local citizens’ travel does not seem to be affected too much.
At this time, the two major online car giants are on the market. Lyft is already an IPO, and Uber is about to publicly issue shares.
The protest measures vary from place to place. In Los Angeles, Rideshare Drivers United called for a 24-hour strike from Wednesday at 0:00 Pacific time. In the morning, dozens of protesters appeared at Los Angeles International Airport, but from the large number of Uber and Lyft network cars passing by, it did not seem to have much impact on the network car service.
Open the Lyft and Uber apps 2 miles from the airport and you'll find that there are still a lot of internet cars in service.
In New York, the local Taxi Workers Association called for the service to be closed from 7 am to 9 am Eastern time. Some protesters took part in the Brooklyn Bridge fleet and more than a dozen protesters held a rally near Wall Street. The president of the association, Bhairavi Desai, said that the drivers protested because they were fed up with being treated as “consumables” and “liabilities”.

She also said that Uber's compensation system rewards drivers based on time and mileage rates, but this does not match the driver's cost. “The rates are frozen, so even if these companies charge more from the passengers, the driver can’t get a penny.”
Inder Pamar has been on the Uber network since 2013. He protested because he felt the company was depriving workers. "I (to Uber to open a car about the car) once earned 37 dollars an hour, and now only earn 9.8 dollars." Parma said.
He earned $37 per hour between 2013 and 2015, $3 per mile, and now only $1.15 per mile.
"I turned on the phone for 12 hours. If I remove the cost, it is actually equal to one penny." Parma said, "I have to pay for the fuel and car costs. I have to raise a family. I can't live without it."
The most recent income bill he showed was in January 2019, but Uber subsequently raised the minimum income standard in New York.
New York has tried to help the taxi driver and took action in January this year, setting the minimum wage after deducting the fee at $17.22 per hour. According to the new regulations passed locally, it is estimated that about 96% of drivers will receive a salary increase of 10,000 US dollars per year.
Protest organizers in New York demanded wages to support their lives to ensure that drivers get 85% of their fares and prevent drivers from being blocked by the platform without investigation.
Uber's guidelines state that if the driver's score drops too low or the rate of rejection is high, they may not be able to use the app. In addition, drivers may be immediately banned if they are reported to be violent, discriminatory or harassing.
Uber said that if the driver has some less serious bad behavior, but can pass the third-party quality improvement test, there is still a chance to get back on the road.
Uber said on its website: "We are exploring ways to develop an appeals process for the most controversial cases."
Protesters have gathered in San Francisco and plan to hold protests in cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and Washington, DC.

Uber confirmed that the company's available vehicles did not appear to be in serious shortage. They also expressed respect for their own drivers. “Drivers are at the heart of our service. We can't succeed without them. We will continue to improve the driver's daily driving experience.”
Lyft did not comment directly on the protests. The company issued a statement on Tuesday saying that its drivers have an average hourly wage of more than $20, and that most drivers only drive about 10 hours a week to supplement their normal income.
Protest drivers say that if their colleagues know about the protests, more people will join the protests.
