E18 Faut-il avoir peur d’Uber ?

Innerfrench
About this episode

Intermediate French Podcast with Transcript.

Learn French in Context with these Fascinating Topics.

When I started using Uber a few years ago, I was thrilled.

Their app was so much more convenient than regular taxi service, and the drivers seemed a lot nicer while also offering cheaper rides.

But after some time and talks with disappointed drivers, I found out what was behind the fuss: an ugly business model coupled with unfair working conditions.

Unfortunately, many other sectors are now copying Uber’s model and this could radically change the way we work, for the worst.

This podcast is designed for intermediate French learners who want to get a better grasp of the language by listening to current topics.
