Taxi Driver Online

If a driver is restricted in his choice to own or drive, and “owners” have an abundance of labour to choose from, aren't “owners” in fact, renting wage slaves to prop-up their illusions?

Does the uncertainty of the job market and the restriction on plates, turn drivers into commodities to be traded as personal property on the open market?

Do drivers rent taxis or are they themselves, owned?

No. Owners, own taxis and drivers drive taxis. Yes, an owner may drive, but he's still an owner of a taxi, whereas a driver does not own.

Think of it in the context of owners and non-owners, drivers and owners.

It's actually embarrassing how thick this lot is. They couldn't raise their game on their best day.

Owned by whom? Are you suggesting drivers are slaves because slavery has been outlawed since 1833

It's a figure of speech.

A self-employed driver finds himself in a swelling labour pool of drivers with restricted access to the tools of their trade. They compete against each other for a limited number of shifts. The owners simply pick and choose their drivers while hiking up rentals to an artificially high level in the process. I don't think anyone could claim that rentals reflect earnings, especially now. Drivers are therefore turned into commodities to be traded between owners in the job market. In effect, becoming the property of vested interests, controlling their access to work, depending on how much they are prepared to pay.


I would say that makes them property of sorts.
