That said, Taxi drivers have something Uber drivers don't- a union.

Really depends on the taxi company. In the small mountain town I went to college in there was a traditional company and a co-op company. The traditional company had better cars, an app, and a nice person on the phone. The co-op had old (but clean) cars, drivers acting as dispatch, and drivers that were actually happy to be there and have conversations.

Only one of those companies had nearly all the same drivers the entire time I was there.
