Uber launches a project to hire ex-servicemen as drivers
Of course Uber knows how to turn heads. And it is that, if it is not being banned in some country for not respecting passenger transport laws, as has happened recently in Germany, it is in charge of publishing the different projects in which it is immersed to improve as a company. The last of them to be known is that of UberMilitary A service for which they want to add to their ranks of drivers ex-US militaryto give them a second chance among civilians.
The information comes from the Uber's official blog, where they are pleased to announce this project that will employ more than 50,000 former US military More specifically of service members, veterans, and military spouses than in the next 18 months will join the staff of this private transportation company. And it seems like a perfect option to offer a part-time job for these people who want to participate in the civil world
But why offer this type of employment to veterans and military? Uber is clear about the figures and knows that on 21, 4 percent of veterans are young people under 25 years old In addition, their spouses tend to change their place of residence an average of eight times, with the labor disruption that this may entail.All this taking into account that Uber has already been working with veterans for some time who, coincidentally, get higher ratingsthan their non-military drivers and make more trips than their non-military drivers. Always with respect to the data made public by this company.
And, according to Uber, the option of giving jobs to military communities means the opportunity to be Your own boss, being these people who decide when and where to work. A job of entrepreneurs who can adjust their schedules and services starting with a single vehicle and expand until they have a fleet. In addition, Uberhelps them finance their vehicles if they don't have the necessary credit thanks to a Own plan with lower prices.
With all this Uber continues to expand its offers and projects, which now go beyond mere passenger transport.And this company already works as a transport service for elegant cars (UberBlack), cheap cars (UberPop ), regular taxis (UberTaxi) and now also by and for the military with UberMilitarySomething that, to say the least, draws attention once again to this company that dominates both marketing and the media
For the moment the project UberMilitary will be launched in the United States. And it is that in many other parts of the planet Uber operates in a more limited way, as is the case of Barcelona where it is only possible to control the economic routes of UberPop A company that continues to fight to gain a foothold, but is against the guild of taxi drivers who defend their work and expensive licenses to operate, and to the courts that defend the transportation laws that Uber breaks in several cities
