Uber drivers protest in London and national 24 hours strike

The App Drivers & Couriers Union (ADCU) – the union for private hire drivers and couriers – called for a 24 hours national strike for Uber drivers from midnight 00.01 until 23:59 on Wednesday June 22, 2022. Uber drivers are facing an unprecedented cost of living crisis due to fuel inflation running at 44%, vehicle costs up 28% and household inflation up 7.8%. Yet Uber has failed to either obey the Supreme Court ruling in full which would protect workers or otherwise raise fares and pay in line with inflation of operating costs. This means that the most precarious workers in Britain have been exposed to the ravages of plummeting incomes and purchasing power. Meanwhile, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi will earn £45 million this year at an equivalent hourly pay rate of £21,000. In addition to the strike action, the ADCU did a protest demonstration in front of Uber’s offices at Aldgate Tower in London. There was also a protest at Uber's Leeds Hub on Burnley Road, LS4 2PU by LPHDO. ‍The union is demanding 1) Uber comply with the Supreme Court ruling and pay drivers at least the minimum wage and holiday pay for all working time from log on to log off. Currently Uber is only prepared to pay the minimum wage after costs from the point of dispatch to drop off but not including standby time which is around 40% of working time. Uber has not adjusted the costs calculations used for calculation of the minimum wage despite runaway inflation for fuel and operating costs. 2) Uber must raise fares to £2.50 per mile and £0.20 per minute. Fares on Tuesday evening were being offered in central London at £1.06 per mile and £0.10 per minute. These are historically low fares. 3) Uber must end its practice of unfair dismissals. Drivers are often flagged for summary dismissal by automated means and are denied any proper due process of investigation, appeal or representation. This in turn can lead to licensing action by local licensing authorities and drivers having to explain why they were fired with Uber often failing to even disclose the reasons. 4) Uber must obey the UK GDPR and provide full algorithmic transparency, so drivers understand how they have been profiled, performance managed and on what basis they have been either allocated work or had it withheld.
