Smart move by Uber. Improving the gig work experience--for both workers and firms--can build support for keeping it available, possibly countering political forces stuck on traditional inflexible employment models. https://t.co/PxYGLvFStS

I’m not saying it is or isn’t.
Simply an important question investors should ask of a company with an unproven core business.https://t.co/vHBO92tOrt

And, just like that, Uber killed about a dozen startups in the US and put in question the viability of a dozen startups in Europe & LATAM. This is independent if Uber will do this right or not. https://t.co/nWrMTsbQXz

Uber、非正規雇用と企業をマッチングするいわゆる人材派遣に近いUber Worksをシカゴで正式ローンチ。ホワイトカラーとかフリーランスよりもリリースを見た感じでは、レストランの調理スタッフとか倉庫作業員、清掃員、イベントスタッフなどを想定している感じ。 https://t.co/tcLPJOi7LQ

Uber is expanding to operate a multipurpose labor platform in which it will set prices while disclaiming employment. I spoke a bit w/ @saraheneedleman about why that's an antitrust problem.

I predicted their shift to B2B, ala amazon and aws, but missed the mark on how (I argued they should get into urban smb freight).
