Greece wants to force Uber into hiring full-time taxi drivers
Greece, a country with a lot of debt and an angry taxi lobby, is the latest to ponder anti-ride-sharing legislation. The country reportedly plans to force ride-sharing firms like Uber and Taxibeat to ink three-year contracts with licensed drivers, effectively turning them into full-time employees. Operators would need to buy taxi licenses be subject to stricter rules than currently allowed, according to Reuters.
Greek's taxi drivers have reportedly lobbied the government to make the changes, saying that drivers using the new services have lower barriers to entry. "You can't have a group of professionals being normally taxed ... and a few others not paying at all for the same job, because there [are no set rules]," taxi union head Thymios Lyberopoulos told Reuters.
