1. The Uber dilemma: are “crowd-work” platforms employers?

The law has long struggled to adapt to new forms of employment – who should be responsible for the protection of workers’ rights, from minimum wage and working time to discrimination law, in today’s fragmented economy? These fundamental questions are now returning to public discussion as a result of the meteoric rise of so-called "crowd-work".

2. NYCC ’14: Hitch a ride with Uber in their Comic Cars

As everyone knows, the worst thing about the Javits Center besides the oppressive low ceilings and lack of affordable food is getting away from it , since catching a cab on the West side is impossible and the 7 subway extension hasn’t opened yet. Sigh. But Uber will be there and they’ve teamed up with a bunch of comics companies  and Chevy to wrap nine cars. There will also be prizes and giveaways and …stuff. And if you tweet about your ride with the hashtag #chevynycc you may be named one of the 10 best photos. I believe this is the last day you can get a free ride however.

I’m told that getting an Uber at Javits is just as hard as getting a car, but you can bet a lot of people will be Ubering it up.

As part of the partnership, Chevrolet will wrap nine different vehicles that fans can Uber to New York Super Week, throughout New York City. Some of these cars will also be on display at the Javits center during NYCC. The full lineup of cars can be found below:

3. C2E2: Get a free ride from Uber

unnamed (1).jpg

As attested by Torsten’s comprehensive transit guide, getting around the cavernous McCormick Place where the ongoing C2E2 show is being held is no easy matter and getting away from it can be hellish. However, the show has teamed with Uber, the get a ride app, to offer a FREE ride for new signees. Existing users can enter to win $100 in Uber credit.

For those who haven’t been using it, Uber is all the rage here in NYC and other urban areas.YOu sing up put in a credit card and then you can use your phone to summon a car at a few moments notice wherever you may be. These kind of “on demand” services are being scrutinized in many places so get in while the getting is good.
