"assuming that somehow Uber pulled that off and they'll be the world's largest employer in less than a decade"
LOL, I thought Uber was trying NOT to be classified as an employer with respect to their drivers.
Even if they hired close to that many women, the announcement seems to be more of a stunt for positive publicity than anything, their drivers lack all of the basic protections and benefits that many public school teachers receive.
In reality, the political clout of the "Public School Teachers" is much less than the total 2.7m members since they're made up of many different unions. As opposed to Walmart, which is a single company that has much more power over their control of the workplace and employees. Right now it seems that Uber has even more clout over their drivers than Walmart has over their employees.
