This New Year's Eve, taxis are hoping to grab those disgruntled customers with discounted or free rides. Flywheel, an app for hailing taxis, is offering a $10 flat rate for rides booked on the app between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. Rides more than $50 will be charged the metered balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flywheel CFO Oneal Bhambani calls his app a bet on the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People will come back to Flywheel not for the $10 rides, they'll come back to Flywheel: a) because it's safe, b) it's always there, at 5 p.m. when you're coming home from work it's available, it's availabe during times of low demand and it's available at a predictable price,\" Bhambani says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Gillespie is the president and general manager of Yellow Cab, one of the largest taxi companies in San Francisco. He says hundreds of his drivers use Flywheel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a great move just to go to the public and say surge pricing isn't a necessity, and we're here to serve the public without gouging them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gillespie also says companies like his need to change to keep up with Uber and Lyft, so he's focusing more on customer service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a project where we've been doing things to do extra service to maintain our taxis, whether it be through cleaning them, replacing the seats, (the) kind of stuff that we've always done. But we've really stepped it up to make sure that we're providing a good product to the riding public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also says they're working to improve service to the outer edges of the city, although he says the bigger problem with that is too few taxis on the road, a common complaint among cab companies, which make their money from renting cabs to drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An even better deal for some cab passengers: Luxor is offering free rides anywhere within San Francisco on New Year's Eve courtesy of a personal injury firm, as long as the ride is booked through its dispatcher and you are picked up from a restaurant, hotel or bar downtown. Luxor's dispatch number is (415) 282-4141.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Uber and Lyft will donate a percentage of their New Year's Eve profits to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In fact, Uber announced on Tuesday that an average ride at 2 a.m. could be more than $100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>P\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/magazine/is-ubers-surge-pricing-an-example-of-high-tech-gouging.html\" target=\"_blank\">eople don't always like the final cost\u003c/a> of an Uber ride incurred during surge pricing. This New Year's Eve, taxis are hoping to grab those disgruntled customers with discounted or free rides. Flywheel, an app for hailing taxis, is offering a $10 flat rate for rides booked on the app between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. Rides more than $50 will be charged the metered balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flywheel CFO Oneal Bhambani calls his app a bet on the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Three are in Southern California: in Granada Hills, Lompoc and Stanton. The fourth is in San Jose. All this new real estate and personnel are projected to cost $141 million over three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applicants need to show that they do in fact \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/newsrel/newsrel14/2014_70\" target=\"_blank\">live in the state and to provide some form of identification\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica has her appointment set for next week, and she says it will be a big relief when she can finally get a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have your identification, you don’t have so much problem,” she says. “You feeling better if the police stop.

It seemed like the income kept falling and would keep falling if no one regulated the number of drivers. I was unsure about insurance coverage. Most of all, I felt like driving for Lyft was taking money out of the pockets of cab drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Current Lyft driver Dan Carrigan has some of the same concerns. He says he does not feel like his interests as an individual are a priority for the company, nor does he feel protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can only trust a process to a certain extent,” Carrigan says. “Nobody is taking care of you in this business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone with aspirations to be self-employed — an entrepreneur of some kind — Carrigan is drawn to the sharing economy. There seem to be all kinds of possibilities for people, like running errands on TaskRabbit, providing services through Fiverr, or cleaning houses for Handy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrigan started by trying to rent out his apartment on Airbnb, but he stopped because he was worried about getting evicted.

He was laid off from his previous job and wanted flexibility while he figured out what to do next. At first it seemed great, and he thought he could do it for a few years. But now he says he has realized there is not enough stability because as a driver he is replaceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re part of a pool, you are really part of a pool,” Carrigan says, “so if suddenly companies could pay much less to drivers, and there were still drivers willing to drive for that rate, they would. And the rates are going lower and lower and lower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lyft Says It’s Listening\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft says it listens to drivers, and that it has recently improved the tipping system. In the summer, Lyft let drivers keep all their earnings. But now it takes a 20 percent commission on each fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft representative Katie Dally told KQED via email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lyft’s commission is 20 percent of each trip cost — and drivers keep 100 percent of tips from passengers. Lyft is also the only ridesharing platform to offer drivers an opportunity to earn a percentage of their weekly earnings as a bonus. The more drivers drive, the more they can earn, up to 20 percent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, if they drive enough, they earn back the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrigan says he makes between $25 and $31 an hour, and that is before insurance, gas, taxes and car upkeep. It is less than I made a year ago, and Carrigan says the income continues to fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10382936\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS13765_Dan-Carrigan.JPG.jpg-alt_209.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10382936\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS13765_Dan-Carrigan.JPG.jpg-alt_209-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dan Carrigan drives for Lyft to help pay the bills.

(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As for earning the bonuses for logging more hours, Carrigan says that makes it more like a regular job, which is not what he signed up for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be nice to know that I could do this for a while without it changing,” Carrigan says, “but the way things are now, I’m looking for work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Union Organizing Begins\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, some drivers for Lyft’s competitor, Uber, are trying to organize a union so they can achieve more stability and a stronger voice within the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A local chapter of the Teamsters union is giving them support and advice. Teamsters spokesman Galen Munroe says that when it comes down to it, this is just the same old story — companies using part-time workers to cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These companies “don’t want the responsibilities or the costs associated with direct employees,” Munroe says, “and to a certain degree we feel that this is misclassification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a fine line between contract worker and employee, and it is causing trouble for these new gig sites. Uber faces \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/250503465/O-Connor-Et-Al-v-Uber-Technologies-Inc-Et-Al-11-12-14-Amended-Complaint\">lawsuits\u003c/a>, as does \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Handy-com-housecleaners-lawsuit-could-rock-5891672.php\">Handy\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/250504957/O-Connor-Et-Al-v-Uber-Technologies-Inc-Et-Al-11-25-14-Defendant-s-Answer-to-Amended-Complaint\">claims\u003c/a> are that they control workers like employees, but do not give them benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is the dark side of these companies, says Gerald Friedman, economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Friedman adds that by cleverly branding this work as the sharing economy, these tech companies are normalizing what is really unprotected, deregulated contract labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedman says these tech platforms are “used to deny workers protections that we established in the New Deal era to protect people against unemployment, health crisis and to protect people’s work safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way the gigs on these sites are pitched, Friedman says, sounds kind of like the worker utopia described by Karl Marx, where one could hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and do criticism in the evening, without having to become a hunter, a fisherman or a critic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of flexibility is desirable, he says, but in our modern capitalist society such gig work brings a harsh reality of less protection and more instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that charge, Lyft makes the case that its workers can purchase health insurance on their own now, with the Affordable Care Act. And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Lyft-plays-Whac-a-Mole-with-regulators-nationwide-5958762.php\">company says\u003c/a> drivers work for them precisely because they don’t want an employer, or because they already have one and just want to make money on the side. The point here is the freedom that Lyft provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impacts on Taxi Drivers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/07/taxis-lyft-ride-service-war-on-streets-of-san-francisco\">Of course what may be freedom for the ride-service drivers has impacts on others,\u003c/a> such as San Francisco cabbie Harbir Batth. He says taxi drivers in this city used to have the kind of gig advertised by these tech companies: flexible decent pay, plus even some protection and stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We never had a union. It is kind of a self-employed industry,” Batth says. “Everybody is divided. It’s a cash business, you know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Batth says these new, less regulated companies are stealing his business and killing his profession. So, like those Uber drivers in L.A., Batth and others are unionizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have done something for 25 or 30 years, you are old,” he says, “you have no other option. You can’t look for a change of career.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batth has been driving a cab for 22 years, and in 2012, he finally got his dream: a medallion. It allows him to rent a cab to another person, so he can make income without having to drive. It cost $250,000, he says, and Batth borrowed money to make the down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought I will retire after 10 years or so,” Batth says, “I thought I could pay off the loan and have a little income to live off of. But now it’s all down the drain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batth says he would sell the medallion if he could, but now nobody wants to buy one. With a child headed to college and another in third grade, plus the loan payments for the medallion, Batth says he has no option but to keep driving — for less money.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He says he does not feel like his interests as an individual are a priority for the company, nor does he feel protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can only trust a process to a certain extent,” Carrigan says. “Nobody is taking care of you in this business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone with aspirations to be self-employed — an entrepreneur of some kind — Carrigan is drawn to the sharing economy. There seem to be all kinds of possibilities for people, like running errands on TaskRabbit, providing services through Fiverr, or cleaning houses for Handy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was laid off from his previous job and wanted flexibility while he figured out what to do next. At first it seemed great, and he thought he could do it for a few years. But now he says he has realized there is not enough stability because as a driver he is replaceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re part of a pool, you are really part of a pool,” Carrigan says, “so if suddenly companies could pay much less to drivers, and there were still drivers willing to drive for that rate, they would. And the rates are going lower and lower and lower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lyft Says It’s Listening\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft says it listens to drivers, and that it has recently improved the tipping system. In the summer, Lyft let drivers keep all their earnings. But now it takes a 20 percent commission on each fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft representative Katie Dally told KQED via email:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lyft’s commission is 20 percent of each trip cost — and drivers keep 100 percent of tips from passengers. Lyft is also the only ridesharing platform to offer drivers an opportunity to earn a percentage of their weekly earnings as a bonus. The more drivers drive, the more they can earn, up to 20 percent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, if they drive enough, they earn back the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrigan says he makes between $25 and $31 an hour, and that is before insurance, gas, taxes and car upkeep. It is less than I made a year ago, and Carrigan says the income continues to fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10382936\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS13765_Dan-Carrigan.JPG.jpg-alt_209.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10382936\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS13765_Dan-Carrigan.JPG.jpg-alt_209-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dan Carrigan drives for Lyft to help pay the bills.

Teamsters spokesman Galen Munroe says that when it comes down to it, this is just the same old story — companies using part-time workers to cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These companies “don’t want the responsibilities or the costs associated with direct employees,” Munroe says, “and to a certain degree we feel that this is misclassification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a fine line between contract worker and employee, and it is causing trouble for these new gig sites. Uber faces \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/250503465/O-Connor-Et-Al-v-Uber-Technologies-Inc-Et-Al-11-12-14-Amended-Complaint\">lawsuits\u003c/a>, as does \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Handy-com-housecleaners-lawsuit-could-rock-5891672.php\">Handy\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/250504957/O-Connor-Et-Al-v-Uber-Technologies-Inc-Et-Al-11-25-14-Defendant-s-Answer-to-Amended-Complaint\">claims\u003c/a> are that they control workers like employees, but do not give them benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is the dark side of these companies, says Gerald Friedman, economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Friedman adds that by cleverly branding this work as the sharing economy, these tech companies are normalizing what is really unprotected, deregulated contract labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedman says these tech platforms are “used to deny workers protections that we established in the New Deal era to protect people against unemployment, health crisis and to protect people’s work safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way the gigs on these sites are pitched, Friedman says, sounds kind of like the worker utopia described by Karl Marx, where one could hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and do criticism in the evening, without having to become a hunter, a fisherman or a critic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of flexibility is desirable, he says, but in our modern capitalist society such gig work brings a harsh reality of less protection and more instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that charge, Lyft makes the case that its workers can purchase health insurance on their own now, with the Affordable Care Act. And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Lyft-plays-Whac-a-Mole-with-regulators-nationwide-5958762.php\">company says\u003c/a> drivers work for them precisely because they don’t want an employer, or because they already have one and just want to make money on the side. The point here is the freedom that Lyft provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impacts on Taxi Drivers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/07/taxis-lyft-ride-service-war-on-streets-of-san-francisco\">Of course what may be freedom for the ride-service drivers has impacts on others,\u003c/a> such as San Francisco cabbie Harbir Batth. He says taxi drivers in this city used to have the kind of gig advertised by these tech companies: flexible decent pay, plus even some protection and stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We never had a union. It is kind of a self-employed industry,” Batth says. “Everybody is divided. It’s a cash business, you know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Batth says these new, less regulated companies are stealing his business and killing his profession. So, like those Uber drivers in L.A., Batth and others are unionizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have done something for 25 or 30 years, you are old,” he says, “you have no other option. You can’t look for a change of career.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batth has been driving a cab for 22 years, and in 2012, he finally got his dream: a medallion. It allows him to rent a cab to another person, so he can make income without having to drive. It cost $250,000, he says, and Batth borrowed money to make the down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought I will retire after 10 years or so,” Batth says, “I thought I could pay off the loan and have a little income to live off of. But now it’s all down the drain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>OAKLAND — A federal jury decided Tuesday that Apple didn't compete unfairly when it sold music players and songs with copy-protection software that was incompatible with rival devices and music from competing online stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight-member jury in U.S. District Court handed Apple a victory by rejecting a claim from attorneys for consumers and iPod resellers, who were seeking as much as $1 billion in a class-action lawsuit. The plaintiffs argued that Apple was able to overcharge consumers for iPods by making it difficult to switch to a rival music player, as music bought from Apple's iTunes store wouldn't work on other players, nor would music from other stores work on iPods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After just three hours of deliberation, the jury accepted Apple's argument that the software provided necessary security protection and was part of a larger package of improvements that made iPods and iTunes popular with consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple applauded the verdict: \"We created iPod and iTunes to give our customers the world's best way to listen to music. Every time we've updated those products — and every Apple product over the years — we've done it to make the user experience even better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple no longer uses the copy-protection software in question, so the ruling has no effect on the company's current practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case, originally filed in 2005, covers an estimated 8 million consumers who purchased iPods from 2006 to 2009, when the software was still in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs argued that the software locked people into using iPods and allowed Apple to overcharge for the devices. Plaintiffs were seeking $350 million in damages, which could have been tripled if the jury found Apple violated antitrust laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they plan to appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're glad we got this to the jury,\" attorney Bonny Sweeney said. But she said that a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers kept the jury from considering the impact of encryption code used in an iTunes software update that was the focus of the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a two-week trial, the plaintiffs' attorneys played a video of testimony by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011. They also showed emails between Apple executives that indicated they were concerned about some early efforts by rival companies to sell digital music files that might be played on iPods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Apple executives testified they were focused on preventing unauthorized copying — which was a big concern of recording labels — and said Apple was worried that digital files from outside sources might compromise the security of its iTunes software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what turned out to be the key issue of the trial, Apple argued that its iTunes software updates were legitimate product improvements, which combined security protections with other new features that allowed consumers to watch videos, view album covers and synch their music collections on different computers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal antitrust law permits companies to make legitimate product improvements, regardless of their effect on competitors. Rogers told jurors that if they agreed with Apple on that point, they did not need to examine other arguments in the case. The jury began deliberating Monday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the case focused on an iTunes software update that blocked music sold by competitor Real Networks, Real and other rival music sellers weren't parties in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case took almost 10 years to get to trial, it nearly collapsed last week when the named plaintiffs were disqualified from the case. Apple attorney William Isaacson told the judge that records showed that neither of the two lead plaintiffs, who are supposed to represent the other consumers affected by the case, had purchased iPod models covered by the lawsuit. A third plaintiff had withdrawn earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a last-minute scramble, Rogers agreed to add Massachusetts business consultant Barbara Bennett as the lead plaintiff. Jurors did not hear any testimony from Bennett, who told attorneys she listened to her iPod while figure skating.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Plaintiffs were seeking $350 million in damages, which could have been tripled if the jury found Apple violated antitrust laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they plan to appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're glad we got this to the jury,\" attorney Bonny Sweeney said. But she said that a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers kept the jury from considering the impact of encryption code used in an iTunes software update that was the focus of the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a two-week trial, the plaintiffs' attorneys played a video of testimony by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011. They also showed emails between Apple executives that indicated they were concerned about some early efforts by rival companies to sell digital music files that might be played on iPods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Apple executives testified they were focused on preventing unauthorized copying — which was a big concern of recording labels — and said Apple was worried that digital files from outside sources might compromise the security of its iTunes software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what turned out to be the key issue of the trial, Apple argued that its iTunes software updates were legitimate product improvements, which combined security protections with other new features that allowed consumers to watch videos, view album covers and synch their music collections on different computers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal antitrust law permits companies to make legitimate product improvements, regardless of their effect on competitors. Rogers told jurors that if they agreed with Apple on that point, they did not need to examine other arguments in the case. The jury began deliberating Monday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the case focused on an iTunes software update that blocked music sold by competitor Real Networks, Real and other rival music sellers weren't parties in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case took almost 10 years to get to trial, it nearly collapsed last week when the named plaintiffs were disqualified from the case. Apple attorney William Isaacson told the judge that records showed that neither of the two lead plaintiffs, who are supposed to represent the other consumers affected by the case, had purchased iPod models covered by the lawsuit. A third plaintiff had withdrawn earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a last-minute scramble, Rogers agreed to add Massachusetts business consultant Barbara Bennett as the lead plaintiff. Jurors did not hear any testimony from Bennett, who told attorneys she listened to her iPod while figure skating.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
