Gurley says SEIU charges $420 annual fee to 2 million members outside ridesharing to fund this fight.
“They want their minimum member fee is $420 a year that they charge their 2,000,000 members who, by the way, aren't in the ride sharing industry. They're in hospitality and government and health care.”
Gurley cites Amazon paying $3,000 and McDonald's $500 bonuses to argue drivers prefer flexible work over shifts.
“if if if these writer drivers wanted shift work, there's unbelievable opportunity out there right now. Amazon's paying $3,000 for you to become a shift worker.”
Gurley questions why Iowa worker needs $40 hourly when Mexican worker will work hard for $15.
“And it's unclear to me why a worker in Iowa needs $40 an hour if there's a worker in Mexico that's willing to bust his ass for 15.”
