> You’ve learned how to drive uber

That's a bit of stretch. Also worth noting, many of the jobs did not even exist before Uber created a market for it.

> why don't they simply choose not to offer their services to Uber?

Collective bargaining, aka unionizing, does essentially just that, only with more leverage.



ok...?

I'm sure driving for uber is not difficult, but making money driving for uber is 100% a skill. When to go out, where to be, how long your shift should be, what rides to skip, etc. That's all invested learning.

> Also worth noting, many of the jobs did not even exist before Uber created a market for it.

Their trophey is in the mail. Just because you create a new job, does not mean it's a good job.

> Collective bargaining, aka unionizing, does essentially just that, only with more leverage.

yes! it seems clear to me that uber drivers would benefit from unionizing.
