Case Study : ' Uber '

Jacks current policy does not provide coverage if he were to use his personal vehicle for driving Uber customers (College for America, 2014). The exclusion section page 4, of the personal automobile insurance policy clearly explains that the policy will not cover the loss of any bodily injury, damages, or medical payment if the vehicle is operated in use as a public or livery conveyance. The policy clearly excludes coverage for any loss to your covered auto or any non-owned auto, which occurs while it is being used as public or livery conveyance (College for America, 2014). The benefits of the policy that is provided by Uber to its drivers are that the insurance for the automobile would start when the rider enters the vehicle and would stop

I know you have been eagerly anticipating the announcement regarding the legislation of Uber in our City. I have received a lot of information from the citizens of Winnipeg both in the public and private sector, so it is evident that this topic is on everyone's mind.1 Uber will bring great success to Winnipeg through its convenience, its low costs, and also supply our community with an endless amount of jobs. With this information, I know we can establish a clear path going forward; however, it is imperative that we cooperate together as a city to ensure that Uber is successful. Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa have all seen great success from this company, therefore we have decided that this trend will succeed in our city as well.2 As this service is legal in multiple major cities throughout Canada, it will cause no harm here in our comunity.3

I frequently use Uber and have discussed their ride sharing services in several other courses. I did find it surprising that the company or even car manufacturers are looking into the idea of driverless cars and rides. I still do not trust the entire concept of driverless vehicles and I believe Uber should work on other aspects of the service before even having discussions on this topic. I would mainly want to work with Uber to improve in app offerings for safety purposes. I have already seen Uber in the news due to the criminal actions of some of their drivers. Like most people on the board have stated, Uber definitely needs to do further investigations when it comes to background checks of their drivers. I believe Uber should integrate a

Australia’s Human Resource (HR) practices are regulated by laws that specify the employers and employee roles as well as the working conditions. As such, there is minimal opportunity for exploitation or unethical business practices. But for the regulations to take effect, the relationship between an employer and employee needs to be recognised. This report seeks to analyse some HR issues that are pertinent to businesses that operate on a contractual basis.

Uber launched from San Francisco, their mission simply stated, “Uber is evolving the way the world moves” (Uber The Company, 2014). Founded in 2009, Uber encourages people to download an application on their mobile device and arrange for a ride in over two hundred and fifty cities and fifty countries worldwide (Griswold, 2014). Travis Kalanick, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, is leading Uber in their vision of “seamlessly connecting riders to drivers” by taking advantage of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology. Garrett Camp helped Kalanick fund Uber with $200k of seed money (Uber, 2014) and today, only five years later, the company is worth an astonishing forty billion (Griswold, 2014).

The limitation with the taxi is that, there will be a misunderstanding between the passenger and the driver. Uber has reduced this risk, because both the passengers and the drivers will have the profiles, so, each other can check the profiles of the other before starting the ride.

Competing in emerging industries: UBER has entered lots of emerging markets recently to compete against existing ride sharing companies. There is enormous trend of shared transport not only in developed countries like the US, but also in emerging economies where the GDP per capita is below $12000. Ride sharing is emerging in many countries like Chile, South Africa, India, Thailand and so on. Ordering rides through application rather than call. And rides offered by drivers using their private cars is emerging concept in many nations. UBER is using price cuts to attract the next layer of price-sensitive customers, also it is bundling the prices with UBEREATS to lower the price. As a result of being in emerging industry, UBER is pursuing new customer groups by entering into new geographical areas.

A new trend has emerged that the drivers who are all working with Uber are not a part time workers instead they should be treated as employees say, the Switzerland government. So, the Uber driver receives some authority which has features like working in a gale. The driver has been working with the feedback from the mobile application which is managed by the organization of Uber.

So you think you want to be a truck driver? There are actually many different categories of truck drivers. Auto haulers and Car haulers - The name kind of says it all.

Uber was founded to fill a need to get people where they need to be, without using a traditional taxi service. “To passengers, Uber is essentially synonymous with taxis, and to drivers, it’s basically a referral service.” (Time, 2014) Uber is owned by Travis Kalanick, who co-founded the business in 2009 with Garrett Camp, originally known as Ubercab.) Anyone needing local transportation can request a ride through their application, available on iOS, Windows, and Android devices, which sends the request to all drivers in the area. An available driver claims the job, then use their personal vehicle to transport the customer. Upon completion, the driver and passenger complete a survey detailing the job. Currently, Uber operates in 58 countries, and 300 cities worldwide, almost guaranteeing that there is a driver available near you. At the end of 2014, Uber had over 160,000 drivers, acting as private contractors for the company. The company was designed to be, basically, a head for many contractors to operate under, taking a percentage of the money made by the contractors. However, this design was flawed from the beginning, because the service design failed to account for the greed of people. There is quite a difference between employees and contractors in regards to employment law. This includes benefits that a company must provide for employees, such as workmen’s compensation and FMLA that it is not required to provide for private contractors. In a landmark case in
