Helpful in identifying the ethical dilemmas of Uber services concerning consumer safety compliance for drivers who are independent contractors
1. Give one example of a fact you found from the source:
Uber is careful to couch its training materials and disability-related initiatives as “tips,” “suggestions,” or “voluntary” programs, so as not to imply it is actually exerting control over its drivers.
1. Give one example of an opinion you found from the source
The challenge Uber faces in responding to the array of ADA lawsuits brought against it is that handing down a true mandate of compliance would require the company to exert more control over its drivers than merely drafting anti-discriminatory guidelines
After examination of this source, identify one direct quote and one paraphrase that you can use (Use signal phrases, quotations marks, and in-text citations.)
Direct Quote #1:
As stated, (Casey, 2017)
, truly compelling ADA compliance—through more interventionist measures such as mandatory disability training, standardized procedures, or wheelchair-accessible vehicle quotas— would risk jeopardizing the drivers’ classification as independent contractors
Paraphrase: Forcing Uber to comply to ADA requirements requires more control on the part of Uber over its drivers which puts at risk Uber drivers classification as independent contractors.
