Let's radically simplify Uber's stakeholder into five classes: executives, investors, engineers, full-time drivers and occasional drivers.
Each of these five classes of stakeholders have contributed to create Uber's market valuation of $55 billion.
The first three classes are already well compensated because executives, investors and engineers have negotiating leverage.
But the full-time drivers are the one stakeholder class that created much of Uber's value yet receive very little of the value they created.
Maybe they're 10% of the total driver base, or 300,000 workers. How much of Uber's value do they deserve?
