This story mentions that Uber now takes a 35% commission from new drivers.

£7.50/hr [Uber driver quoted] and providing your own car, doesn't seem
like it's worth it to me.

That's why only immigrants will do it. It's probably a step up from a car
wash.


But I don't think Amazon delivery drivers have a much better deal.

No, I suppose not.

At least Amazon drivers now turn up in smart newish (unmarked) vans, not
beaten-up private cars, like some other couriers. They also don't seem to
have impossible delivery rounds, as they nearly always turn up on the right
day, and don't falsely pretend they've attempted a delivery when they
haven't (unlike Parcelforce).
