NYCers have a new ridehailing alternative to Uber: The Drivers Cooperative is a driver-owned, app-based ride-hailing service that pays drivers more, charges riders less, and pays out any profits to driver-owners as periodic dividends.

Platform cooperativism is a powerful antidote to app-based gig work: a way to provide customers with the convenience that made app-based services so popular while putting workers in control of their days, schedules and conditions.

@pluralistic but how? at the moment Uber still subsidizes all fares burning shareholders money in the process....
I mean .. that will change - but afaik even the evil system they have now an place is still not sufficient to turn a profit..
