Suggestion: Take the list of drivers and hours/worked at the time the law passed. find the median value, drivers at or above that line can vote. Reset the value at a given interval (quarterly, yearly, etc).

That should prevent any possibility of astroturfing.

It's going to be even more uncertain: Uber is rolling out a test of driver-less cars in Pittsburgh in a few weeks.

@2 - I was just about to say that. The ultimate redundancy! But how will the robots unionize?
Good old Uber, driving down the price of labor/services even further!
Once all the taxi drivers give up because they can't even make $10/hr, then we'll have only Uber. It will be a robot-monopoly, and by gum it will be great! Can't wait!

This is the hard proof that Uber corporate central is just using humans as tools, patsies, and cannon-fodder in their single-minded quest for profits. Robots are cheaper, humans are merely a stepping stone.

If you drive for Uber, you are being used, like a disposable napkin, to fluff Uber up with profits just so that they can throw you away without the slightest concern.

If you buy Uber's services, you are participating in the destruction of jobs.
