The subject of this article frames the argument incorrectly. Some drivers on Uber may have full-time jobs and are just driving for Uber to get a little extra in their spare time. Those people who treat Uber itself as a job, however, have little to do with the "sharing economy". IMO this is just another labor dispute, not really an issue with a sharing. On a side note, it's too bad a company so young and apparently game changing should be risking a labor dispute so early in its life.
