I don't know the P&Ls of these companies in detail but I suspect that their margins are almost entirely dependent on exploiting what are euphemistically called "gig economy" workers. And laziness, greed and wiful ignorance of customers drives the demand. Persuading people not to use the service would be like persuading some Chiswick drivers to walk to the shops or bike to work. So the only way forward is regulation. A word that was anathema to our previous government and is paraphrased with trepidation by the current. |
