Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation at Uber?

Uber drivers barely make minimum wage ...enuff said and meanwhile uber corporation rakes in big profits!
I don't feel undervalued, but I would gladly trade some percentage points of the fare for health insurance and perhaps a stock option.
I feel like the company Uber focus on more of what makes things convenient for them. Customer focus rather then driver. Trips should be more

Higher mileage pay. Maybe making some people actual employees and paying them hourly + car allowance
