The 7-Eleven business and franchise model obviously does not work unless the employees there are screwed, simple as that.

Hmmm, sounds like the taxi industry

Not at all. Ours works as it has for decades. Uber's model is also based on screwing its partners drivers. That is why its fate is inevitable.

How so?

They work up to 15 hrs.

It's BS.

In my job we often have to use taxis when required to go & take over from other drivers (locomotive/train) because they have worked to their shift limitations.

It could be in the middle of the night & sometimes 2 or 3 hrs drive.

Many is the time that a cab driver will turn up for a job at 2 or 3 am to go on 4 or 5 hr round trip jobs & they have been at work since 5 or 6 pm the day before.

It's something that the Transport Dept. should review.

We generally enquire to the time a Cabbie has started work or ask when ordering for someone who has started fresh.

But much of the time that is not accommodated .... just like drivers who turn up in those rough as guts maxi vans. Unsuitable for long distance jobs.

Curry munchers and Asians don't join unions. That's completely incorrect.
