They are against wage laws, union organization, minimum liability insurance laws and want favored status over taxi companies that abide to 20th century regulation. They are willing to charge someone $100 for a ride of a couple miles during peak hours on weekend nights. While I admit that they serve some good keeping drunk drivers off of the road and do fill a niche, the way that they treat their workers leaves a lot to be desired.
