    Not all, they were kicked out from Hungary - although that was less a victory of workers’ rights rather than that of the taxi driver union.

      I noticed when I visited Vancouver, BC there were no uber’s or lyft’s available, however - uber eats was available. And most restaurants I walked past had uber eats signs in the windows saying they did delivery. And this was in like 2018

      Every argument in this thread is basically taxi protectionism.

          I don’t like protectionism.

            Kinda just sound like a conspiracy nut finding arguments where there are none with people who are just talking about the article

              That’s certainly a take.

          That’s nonsensical, since workers drive for both.

        Taxi companies tend to be smaller, more locally owned businesses with actual employees instead of “contractors.” Why would we *not side with them?

        Edit: missed an important word
