Uber is closing the pay gap between it’s lowest and highest paid employees. They are also raising wages overall.

Reports state that the lowest wage earners for the company will be bumped up to the current median wage. Additionally, all employees in technical roles will benefit from a 10% wage increase. If a technical employee has a wage above the new median wage, they will receive a 5% wage increase, unless they’ve been an employee for at least 3 years. Finally, all employees will receive a 2.5% wage increase every year.

This is a great change for employees, but for a company that has hardly been profitable, what will the consequences be for the company itself  if it’s spending more money on it’s employees?

Uber was sued over its lack of wheelchair accessible vehicles by disability rights groups and wheelchair users in New York.

Uber has about 58,000 drivers in New York but it is said that fewer than 100 of these drivers have wheelchair accessibility. This has lead to very long wait times or non-existent rides for those on wheelchairs that need an Uber. Those who sued Uber say that this is a violation of human rights.

Uber is celebrating the availability of in-app tipping nationwide by matching every tip you get on July 18. This means 2x tips for the whole day!

Take advantage of this event by ensuring that your in-app tipping is activated. If it is enabled, every tip you get through the app will be doubled!

Since some people do not tip immediately, Uber is giving a 24 hour grace period after a trip is started to qualify for the 2x tipping event. This means that if you started a trip at 11:55 PM on July 18 and finished it at 12:30 AM on July 19, you will still get 2x the tip as long as the customer tipped you before 11:55PM on July 19.

Uber is threatening to shut down Ride Fair, an app that uses Uber’s application programming interface (API) to compare Uber’s prices with competitors  prices.

Normally, it is fine for an app or any other medium to compare prices between ridesharing companies, but the reason Uber threatened this one is because it uses Uber’s technology to compare them to another rideshare service.

When developers receive an API from either Uber or competitors, it is specifically stated that you are not to use their technologies to compare them to their rivals.

After Uber’s tough start to 2017 with scandals and bad news coming out one after another, Uber’s CEO has resigned after being pressured by investors.

This move may not come as a surprise for some as Uber has not been moving in a positive direction under Travis Kalanick. The workplace culture of Uber has often been described as toxic under Kalanick’s rule and it has lead to situations such as when one of their female engineers was sexually harassed earlier this year and barely anything was done to correct the situation or make it better.

With a new CEO, Uber can now move forward and take steps to correct Uber’s culture, which hopefully will make an impact for Uber drivers as well in some form.
