Thriving as an Uber Driver: Prioritizing Safety and Success

Hey there, fellow Uber drivers! Levi Spires here, the creator of Tip You in the App. Let's talk about something that's often on our minds as we navigate the world of ridesharing: safety.

As an Uber driver myself, safety is always my biggest concern. But let's face it – the nature of our job can sometimes lead us to take unnecessary risks. Whether it's working unrealistic hours to hit bonuses or getting distracted while trying to accept rides during nighttime traffic, the pressure is real.

And it's not just us who've noticed this. Recently, Uber investors rejected two proposals related to worker safety and health. One of these proposals called for a third-party audit of worker health and safety, but it only received 9% of the votes. The other proposal, presented on the floor, didn't even make it into the company's proxy submitted to the SEC in March.

Jocilyn Floyd, an Uber driver and member of the Chicago Gig Alliance, spoke out at the meeting, saying, "Uber's model pushes drivers like me to accept risks." She shared her experience of continuing to work despite feeling unsafe because she didn't want to miss out on a bonus. "We need changes to truly be safe," she urged.

So, how can we thrive as Uber drivers without compromising our safety? The answer lies in balancing making money and protecting ourselves on the job. The app shouldn't force us to take risks just for a few extra bucks.
