The ignorance and arrogance of Uber about the French union situtation is mindbogglying:
> This is also why Uber believes it can’t compromise once it begins to offer its services in a new city, or a new country, like France. It strives to work with regulators to accommodate its existing service rather than changing how it works.
It's not the regulators/government that are a problem, it's the taxi unions. You're talking about a place with a very strong, and very long history of active union activity.
"We can't compromise on service". "Fine, we'll drag your drivers out of their cars and set the cars on fire. Your move."
