Sounds like a raw deal for a bicycle, but, how about on a scooter?

The main issue is that they don't have enough customers but they still pull out as many people as they can to work for almost free

I see your point. In Sweden, I see they don't have a minimum wage, and that they use collective bargaining to make agreements. Since Uber Eats is new, I imagine they haven't established a union yet.

I wonder how that will play out.

If you join a union you'll get kicked out is how that will work I imagine.

Or at least a podcast about how you are better off as an "entrepreneur" without unions. https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/14/14912524/uber-driver-app-...
