Thank you, could not agree more. Too often people take a short-term approach to such things - "I'm getting a cheaper price so who cares that the taxi driver is being paid an unfair wage".
Seems to be an American problem which is spreading like an infestation to other countries.
Not sarcasm. American companies are notorious for treating employees like shit and paying them as little as they legally can. French Unions ensure decent working conditions and a fair wage.
Glad to see the taxi drivers of Paris taking action. Uber are just another scumbag American company, trying to turn a skilled profession into an anonymous commodity service, and in the process ensure the CEO makes millions while the employees receive peanuts. This doesn't fly in a country with such strong Unions and solidarity as France.
