Travis Kalanick in May 2014 Guys you are a huge liability, for those who cant see it i feel sorry, those who know what a liability means in any business i am sure you have a second plan Uber is absolutely desperately to get rid of us and it doesn't hide it, you still have the power being the supplier of his business, in any business the supplier have big or low bargain power, as an individual that power is very low but as a group-unity then the power becomes high and when the power is high the supplier can decide the future of the business this is why uber doesn't want unions and drivers to be united I am sure nobody will pay attention to this and will ignore it, for uber the more dumb you are the better....

major Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 A premium service will always have a person involved, quality not quantity. I cant image chauffeuring business to disappear anytime soon, its something classical. UBER X and XL will be in danger but not EXEC or LUX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think just LUX will remain favourable on the long term....not so sure about EXEC, its the middle class still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
