It’s not a good look for Amazon when it’s PR team Amazon News openly gaslights drivers about peeing in bottles, and a day later evidence of hundreds of pee bottles turns up...

Uber sent an email two weeks ago offering drivers around the US to pay their healthcare costs. Last night they said it was a mistaken and retracted the offer. vice.com/en/article/7kv…

This is a measured response from Dara — and he’s right that Uber didn’t share this data with us. Our reporting, however, is correct. Drivers are not receiving their cut of the fare hike — because they are not paid based on actual fares. Here’s how it works washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Uber and Lyft drivers have argued they’re underpaid for years. The companies disagree, but they keep refusing to share the data to back up their claims. Recently, that has included claims that median earnings in some cities are $30 and $40 per hour. businessinsider.com/how-much-uber-…

Uber and Lyft have features that allow both drivers and passengers to report each other for not wearing a mask. But the well-intended feature is also abused, with false claims being made to scam drivers and discriminate against Black & LGBTQ passengers. buzzfeednews.com/article/juliar…

That'll show em. Political ethics regulators are asking Uber to pay $545 to settle a complaint that the company spammed its customers with Prop 22 info last year without properly identifying who paid for the ads. fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fp…

NEW: More Perfect Union has obtained timesheets confirming Frito-Lay's rampant abuse of mandatory overtime. Yesterday, @FritoLay claimed that reports of forced overtime were "grossly exaggerated." These timesheets prove them wrong. The “F” next to each name stands for "Forced."

The modern history of Hawaiʻi is founded on land appropriation. In 1893, American businessmen overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom's government, seizing ownership of 1.8 million acres of land as well as control over the country. businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerber…
