How much do LA Uber drivers actually earn? Uber cites $34.46/hour — but that's only for active trip time. Factor in the 30–50% of time spent waiting for rides, and independent studies show median pay can drop to roughly $6–$9/hour.
Key step: track your total online hours separately from your active trip hours. The gap tells the real story.

I gave in and bought my first #BigStupidCup from #Aldi. I put the requisite collected, removable stickers on it.

No‑one has been prosecuted for wage theft since it became a crime. 2 inquiries want answers
@Elizafox FWIW, the psychology behind wage discrimination is pretty weird.
A lot of people believe wage-paying to not be a side of a commercial transaction, as the capitalism's official doctrine says, but funding of a lifestyle "appropriate" to the labourer's social standing. And at that point, all the sexist and classist ideas about what kind of people "deserve" what levels of living come in. Oftentimes, #WageTheft is "justified" by the same mechanism: since laws require paying a Designated Poverty-Deserving Person(tm) more than poverty wage, a manager believes the laws to be wrong and deserving to be ignored. You never see a major company's CEO's wage being thieved: #Patriarchy's ideas about a CEO's expected lifestyle say that he [sic] deserves everything that he can get.
Authoritarian ideologies don't just do "It's impossible to do X, therefore it's very important to harshly punish everybody who does X", they also go "Inequity happens naturally, theferore we must work hard to ensure that inequity happens".
A common misconception among California workers: if you're being denied overtime or meal breaks, it must mean you've been misclassified as an independent contractor.
Under California law, that's not necessarily true. The ABC test — established by the California Supreme Court and codified under AB5 — determines your actual classification regardless of what any contract says.

Wage theft in San Dimas retail jobs is more common than most workers realize. From unpaid bag checks to missed meal breaks, these small violations can cost thousands per year. California law protects your right to overtime pay.

🧾 California's wage and hour laws are among the strongest in the nation.
Under the IWC Wage Orders, workers must be paid for all time under an employer's control — including pre-shift arrivals, post-event breakdown, and mandatory meetings.
Missed rest breaks and meal periods carry additional pay remedies.
Workers who speak up are protected from retaliation.
