&gt; &quot;If Uber drivers are being &quot;exploited&quot;, why don&#x27;t they quit?&quot;<p>My impression is that driving a taxi is a useful side income for people, as they can fit it around other commitments. For example, if someone has a job as a waiter at a restaurant, but needs to make some extra money on the side to pay their rent&#x2F;living expenses, then they could take a job with Uber to supplement their income.<p>However, a job that fills a financial necessity can still be exploitative. For example, when it comes to Uber, there&#x27;s not much in the way of job security. Furthermore, whilst people could theoretically quit, a theoretical new job doesn&#x27;t put food on the table.
