優步“吹哨人”:目前商業模式仍“絕對”不可持續

當地時間週三,曾泄露逾12.4萬份優步公司文件的“吹哨人”Mark MacGann表示,$優步(UBER.US)$似乎正在採取措施改善其工作文化,但其商業模式仍然“絕對”不可持續。

對此,優步的一名發言人讓媒體參考2020年該公司首席執行官達拉·科斯羅薩西發表的一篇評論文章。科斯羅薩西在文中表示,“我們當前的僱傭體系過時且不公平。”

科斯羅薩西曾表示,如果零工工人成爲員工,他們將失去現在的靈活性,乘坐出租車的費用也會更高。這位CEO寫道,員工既想要靈活性,又想要福利,並補充稱需要新的法律來幫助他們。

科斯羅薩西在評論中寫道:“我建議要求零工經濟公司建立福利基金,爲員工提供現金,讓他們可以用這些錢享受自己想要的福利,比如醫療保險或帶薪休假。”

然而,MacGann在裏斯本舉行的歐洲最大科技會議網絡峯會的新聞發佈會上表示:“我想對優步說的是:“你做得很好,但你可以做得更好,因爲目前的模式絕對不可持續。”

他表示,優步最近重申,“其商業模式的核心是獨立承包商,每個人都想自主創業,每個人都想要靈活性”,但事實與這種觀點相悖,優步司機在多個國家起訴該公司,要求“獲得病假工資等最低基本社會保障”。優步在歐洲、美國和世界其他地方投入了數千萬美元,以對抗立法。”

此前,據媒體今年7月報道稱,優步在2013年至2017年期間,爲了積極開拓新市場,違反了法律,還祕密遊說政界人士。

MacGann當時領導了優步的遊說工作,他稱是自己泄露了逾12.4萬份優步公司文件,並表示,他之所以決定公開發聲,是因爲他認爲優步故意藐視法律,在該公司零工經濟模式給司機帶來的好處方面誤導了人們。
