LISBON (Reuters) -Mark MacGann, the whistleblower behind the so-called Uber Files, said on Wednesday that the ride-hailing company seemed to be taking steps toward improving its work culture, but that its business model was still "absolutely" unsustainable.
Uber said in July, in response to the Guardian and Le Monde reports: "We have not and will not make excuses for past behaviour that is clearly not in line with our present values."
"I'm proposing that gig economy companies be required to establish benefits funds which give workers cash that they can use for the benefits they want, like health insurance or paid time off," Khosrowshahi wrote in the op-ed.
"My message to Uber is: 'you've done well, (but) you can do it so much better (because) the current model is absolutely not sustainable,'" MacGann told a news conference during Europe's largest tech conference, the Web Summit, in Lisbon.
"Uber is pumping tens of millions of dollars in Europe, United States, other parts of the world fighting legislation," he said.
