The Guardian spoke to Uber drivers joining a strike who have resorted to sleeping in their cars to make enough money to live.
The Guardian spoke to multiple drivers who regularly sleep in their cars in parking lots around San Francisco to avoid commuting home.
However, some of the drivers The Guardian spoke to said Uber has taken much heftier chunks of their fares. Screenshots showed that in some instances drivers had received as little as 30% of a ride fare. Uber was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Business Insider, but a spokesman said in a statement to The Guardian that the company would continue to work with drivers to improve their working conditions.
