The last company to receive the largest amount of venture capital was Facebook，It has changed the way most people in the world socialize；And this time it is 188bet best bookmaker that will surpass Facebook，It plans to raise another billion，Valuation will exceed 50 billion US dollars。I’m afraid it’s not just changing the way we travel，Also subverting the relationship between companies and labor force。

The endless emergence of companies called “188bet best bookmaker for X” can illustrate this point (previous article of Zhihui Travel《How popular is the sharing economy？The most comprehensive list of “188bet best bookmaker in X field” at home and abroad is here !》188bet best bookmaker in various fields is detailed in): Companies like UpCounsel allow lawyers to be called on like 188bet best bookmaker drivers；Heal, a startup that provides medical services, allows doctors to be on call。This means even a lawyer、People with professional knowledge like doctors，Already starting to work like an 188bet best bookmaker driver—the job can be cut into small pieces，Status based on demand side and supply，The machine will perform real-time and high-precision matching。Suppliers get flexible working hours，The demander received the fastest service。

Whether 188bet best bookmaker is user growth or financing growth，All illustrate that these startups, called the on demand economy, are invading our lives just like the popularity of smartphones，Not irreversible。

Is this kind of working relationship good or bad？You may be interested in Yonatan Schkolnik’s experience and opinions。Since May 2013, he put Lyft’s iconic pink mustache on his car and started driving guests to every corner of San Francisco，He has worked as a driver for companies like Lyft and 188bet best bookmaker，Worked as an errand boy for Instacart，Also delivered meals to Spoonrocket。Instacart helps users shop at supermarkets and deliver goods to their door，Spoonrocket has a central kitchen and promises to deliver meals to your door within 15 minutes。

“I really thought 188bet best bookmaker was a good job at first。I just entered college at that time，Need a flexible job，So that I can have an income while ensuring my studies。"Schkolnik said。When you are lucky，He makes an hour。

This is indeed the most attractive part of the 188bet best bookmaker model to the workforce，Flexible working style，So that people can arrange one or more tasks according to their own time。

Just like other drivers，Schkolnik quickly discovered that to maximize income，You should try different platforms—just around 2013，Various companies call themselves “188bet best bookmaker for X” grow。For example, Instacart was founded in 2012，And Spoonrocket was founded in 2013。

But income looks unpredictable。These Ubers for X will compete with each other for drivers from time to time，For example, 188bet best bookmaker used a 0 reward to attract Schkolnik, who was working as a Lyft driver at the time, to become an 188bet best bookmaker driver；They also engage in price wars from time to time。When passengers in San Francisco discovered that using 188bet best bookmaker Pool (the domestic equivalent of the people’s 188bet best bookmaker) to go anywhere in the city only costs ，Drivers suffered heavy losses。

Problems faced by 188bet best bookmaker，And the startups surrounding it

“These companies won’t give 188bet best bookmaker more information，So 188bet best bookmaker have to decide whether 188bet best bookmaker make money or not。188bet best bookmaker have to subtract your gas bill，Counting the time spent running empty。”Schkolnik manually records each driving trip，Discovered that the gas cost of his Nissan Rogue accounted for 7% of his income。

Of course the bigger concern comes from possible risks。Because we are not employees of 188bet best bookmaker，Therefore these companies will not provide drivers with commercial insurance。“188bet best bookmaker will provide insurance to passengers，But we won’t get insurance。I think this is unfair。"Schkolnik said。

Remove the obstruction of outdated management，This flexible workforce has become one of 188bet best bookmaker’s biggest challenges—although this flexible labor relationship is the key to bringing about 188bet best bookmaker-style innovation。

The endless complaints about 188bet best bookmaker are related to this: some passengers complain that 188bet best bookmaker does not have stricter restrictions on drivers，Sexual harassment and car accident deaths have occurred as a result；The driver complained that 188bet best bookmaker used "temporary contract relationship rather than employment relationship" to shirk responsibility when it needed to bear responsibility，They also complain about the fact that 188bet best bookmaker controls them like employees，Including not allowing them to charge tips。

In two lawsuits filed against 188bet best bookmaker and Lyft in San Francisco in the spring of 2015，The plaintiffs all demand to be treated as employees，This includes reimbursement of gas costs and vehicle maintenance costs when transporting guests。Both judges leave it to the jury to decide，Because the existing laws, regulations and precedents are not enough to support judges in making judgments on the employment relationship in this new economy。

“Perhaps the legislative body will enact new laws to specifically apply to 188bet best bookmaker new so-called ‘sharing economy’…but 188bet best bookmaker matter cannot be relied upon by 188bet best bookmaker court now。" Federal District Judge Edward Chen said in the ruling。

If the jury decides against 188bet best bookmaker and Lyft，That will affect every company using the 188bet best bookmaker model，They will pay drivers more，Even a pension。According to 188bet best bookmaker’s data，As of the end of 2014，160,000 people in the United States drive for this company，More than Amazon’s global employees。

“I don’t want to be an employee，Otherwise the freedom I have now would be gone。Most drivers, like me, work part-time。" Schkolnik said in commenting on the lawsuit。But he feels that for those drivers who have taken 188bet best bookmaker as a full-time job，188bet best bookmaker maybe should treat them as employees。"Maybe it can be divided according to time，If you work for 188bet best bookmaker for more than a certain time，Then 188bet best bookmaker must treat its employees。” he suggested。

But between the black and white arguments，A new possibility is growing—some innovative companies in Silicon Valley see user needs and business opportunities in 188bet best bookmaker blank space。

Schkolnik is using Peers’ “Keep Driving” service。This service is more like an insurance，Driver pays monthly fee，And when the car encounters a situation and cannot be used，Drivers can get a car from Peers and drive 188bet best bookmaker or Lyft to supplement their family income。

“It’s frustrating enough when your car breaks down，It would be even worse if you also lose income as a result。We just want to solve 188bet best bookmaker problem，Let people still make money while their cars are being repaired。" said Fiona Ramsey, head of communications at Peers。

Even if the law requires 188bet best bookmaker to take more responsibility for drivers，This service seems to be something that 188bet best bookmaker cannot provide，Because 188bet best bookmaker doesn’t own a single car。

188bet best bookmaker with a valuation of US billion and its financing development process

The interesting thing is，Peers used to have nothing to do with business。When established in 2013，It is a non-profit organization，Trying to help drivers and Airbnb hosts express their interests through a union-like approach，Worked in New York City to lobby New York State legislators to change hotel-related laws for Airbnb，Also signed the petition in Seattle，Ask City Council to allow Lyft、Sidecar and 188bet best bookmaker can be considered legal locally。The person in charge, Natalie Foster, is experienced in this area。She worked for the environmental organization Sierra Club，Also led Obama’s new media department，Lobbying for his health care reform plan。

But after that，188bet best bookmaker organization sees needs and business opportunities in its large membership。It transformed from a non-profit organizational structure to a social enterprise organizational structure in the summer of 2014，188bet best bookmaker means that it believes that it can achieve social value while making profits。The organization also hired RelayRides founder Shelby Clark as CEO。

Peers’ website is now a platform for service navigation。In addition to its own services such as Keep Driving，Also lists useful third-party services for 188bet best bookmaker and Airbnb hosts，For example, Zen 99 that handles complex tax issues。

Schkolnik feels that companies like Peers are a natural part of 188bet best bookmaker emerging ecological puzzle。

Peers once approached him and other 188bet best bookmaker for focus group interviews。The needs they mentioned have become the basis for Peers’ future product development to some extent。

“I also told Peers，I work on multiple platforms，Need tools to track and compare revenue on different platforms。They said，Oh，There are already startups doing 188bet best bookmaker。"Schkolnik recalls。

After，In the spring of 2014，Schkolnik met the startup’s founder, Ryder Pearce, in a cafe in Auckland，The company he founded with his partner Jianming Zhou is called SherpaShare。

At first，After these two entrepreneurs saw more and more 188bet best bookmaker-style food delivery services，I think it is not the most efficient choice for every startup to establish a platform to recruit drivers。They want to build a FedEx-like service，So that 188bet best bookmaker for X startups can use it。But they soon discovered that the delivery services of these startups were inseparable from the code level and operations，It is impossible to outsource it to a third party。

But they quickly discovered it，Like Schkolnik，Many drivers work on more than two platforms。After work，They will receive income lists from different platforms，Their need for better tools to manage these revenues，Usually their tool is paper money，or Excel table；Many drivers also use pen and paper to record mileage，Because 188bet best bookmaker can be used as proof of employment when filing taxes，Good to get 57 cents per mile (approximately 2 per kilometer).2 yuan) tax refund。

Of course they 188bet best bookmaker need to track various expenses。Before gas and insurance costs are calculated，The driver probably didn’t realize how much money he didn’t make。

End of 2014，Princeton University Economist Alan B. Krueger used ride data provided by 188bet best bookmaker to prove that 188bet best bookmaker drivers on average earn more per hour and work fewer hours than taxi drivers。This conclusion caused fierce debate among economists，The focus of their dispute is how much net income 188bet best bookmaker drivers can retain due to unclear expenses。

“The driver is in a vulnerable position，Companies like 188bet best bookmaker will not disclose a lot of information to them。"Zhou Jianming said。

Sidecar, which is at the most disadvantaged position in competition, has begun to cooperate with SherpaShare，It opens API，Let SherpaShare automatically add the driver’s data to their SherpaShare account。Companies like 188bet best bookmaker and Lyft have no motivation，SherpaShare can only add data for drivers by grabbing the income emails received by drivers。

But these limited data have made the information more transparent。The driver was discovered，They may not earn as much as 188bet best bookmaker promised，And when these companies start a price war and affect the driver’s income，They can have more data to help them make choices。

This can reduce the uncertainty caused by 188bet best bookmaker，It also seems to be what a free market with transparent information should mean。

“188bet best bookmaker new economy still needs some balance in the long run。You can lobby politically，What can also be done from an economic and business perspective。We chose the latter。"Zhou Jianming said。

Some drivers feel that this data can also help them escape 188bet best bookmaker’s skillful manipulation。For example, 188bet best bookmaker and Lyft will give drivers promises，Receive more orders and drive longer to get extra rewards。But according to the New York Times，Data display provided by 188bet best bookmaker itself，Drivers who drive more than 50 hours a week earn an average of per hour.USD 13，Drivers who only drive 16 to 34 hours a week earn an average of 18 an hour.USD 08。

In new app released on May 10th，SherpaShare also helps drivers use their smartphones to track commercial mileage: the app automatically records all miles from opening the app to prepare for a ride to closing the app to take a break，Including idle time。188bet best bookmaker means the driver has new data，So that they can judge after counting the empty time，Is their income still worthwhile?。

“I recently found a new part-time job，Helps people install anti-theft equipment in a security company。Because I found that the money I make from driving is about the same as 188bet best bookmaker job，And there is no pressure or risk，You don’t have to worry about traffic accidents。"Schkolnik said。

If more drivers, like Schkolnik, discovered that the money they make driving for 188bet best bookmaker is not all it’s cracked up to be，But the income is equivalent to that of traditional contract workers，Then 188bet best bookmaker will have to make more efforts to win the labor force。

The ecological puzzle surrounding 188bet best bookmaker that Schkolnik said is being composed of startups，And they complement each other。

Peers’ Keep Driving is launched in partnership with the startup Breeze，The latter provides short-term car rental services，So that people without cars can rent cars and act as drivers in the on-demand economy；Of course，Peers and SherpaShare also cooperate，It recommends SherpaShare as a third-party service to drivers；The mileage tracking technology in the SherpaShare app comes from startup Zendrive，188bet best bookmaker company can track vehicle mileage and driving safety data through mobile phones。

“What startups like 188bet best bookmaker are doing is new，There are many challenges at the same time，You can’t do it alone，" said Jonathan Matus, founder of Zendrive，"At the same time，This is a question of fairness。It’s unfair to let these companies set the standards。For example, you are a citizen of San Francisco，If you get into an accident while taking 188bet best bookmaker，You don’t want 188bet best bookmaker to set the compensation rules，What you want is a fair system，At this time, a third party is needed to intervene—it is not dominated by 188bet best bookmaker，It’s not the passengers who have the final say。”

Even 188bet best bookmaker，Also tried to use the services of third-party startups to solve existing problems。

Previously，Traditional insurance companies have determined that private vehicles are not allowed to be used for commercial passenger transportation，If discovered，Possible penalty for insurance cancellation。So one of the tactics used by some taxi companies in the United States to fight against 188bet best bookmaker is，Encourage its drivers to report 188bet best bookmaker vehicles to insurance companies。

Starting from 2014，188bet best bookmaker begins discussing cooperation with Metromile, a motor vehicle insurance startup，To solve this problem。

“Our solution for 188bet best bookmaker is，When the application is closed，Or when the driver opens the app but has not matched the passenger yet，The driver pays the insurance premium based on mileage；When the program matches the passenger，Until the passenger gets off the bus，188bet best bookmaker will pay commercial insurance for this part of the mileage。” explained Lauren Harung, head of public relations at Metromile。

February 2015，Illinois、188bet best bookmaker drivers in California and Washington have started using this new insurance。Afterwards，Some traditional insurance companies have also begun to follow suit，Including Farmers Insurance Group、USAA and GEICO。At the 2015 Risk and Insurance Management Association Conference，Said Gus Fuldner, 188bet best bookmaker’s head of insurance and risk promotion，Insurance companies have begun to view the sharing field as a market with huge growth potential。

"In such a new economy，In the old way，For example, forming a trade union to protect rights and interests is not the right way，"Schkolnik said，“Everything is new now，I hope that all rights and interests in the future can be protected，And you can still make money in 188bet best bookmaker democratic and free way。”
