Uber X drivers working for half the minimum wage, new report shows
Australians driving for Uber's most popular low-cost service, Uber X, are earning about half the statutory minimum wage for transport workers, according to a new report. Uber driver and president of the advocacy group Ride Share Drivers' Association of Australia, Rosalina Kariotakis, said many people who began driving for Uber were unaware of their tax obligations and hidden vehicle costs. Drivers 'could work 24 hours a day if they wanted to' Ride Share Drivers' Association of Australia president and Uber driver, Rosalina Kariotakis, says managing fatigue is a challenge. "There's nothing stopping those drivers driving 12 hours on Uber, logging onto Taxify, driving another six hours straight … driving another six hours," she said. "Even though drivers are sacrificing, offering hundreds of millions of dollars of effective subsidy to Uber a year in Australia alone, the company still hasn't made money," he said.
