BREAKING - WIE NL has begun legal action against Uber for collective redress over the unlawful use of algorithmic pay setting systems which badly damaged driver incomes. workerinfoexchange.nl/press-releas...

Benioff is a wrong 'un. How quickly he dumps the progressive image he built up. No values, only greed and opportunism. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

We'd never have taken on & beaten Uber if there had been ET fees. This Labour govt has also: 🧨abandoned worker status for gig workers 🧨 abandoned single enforcement agency 🧨watered down AI protections at work 🧨fast tracked AVs 🧨demonised migrant gig workers www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Uber drivers must demand Uber IMMEDIATELY drop Allianz for sickness insurance. UN report finds Allianz helped "sustain & pay for Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territories”. Uber, cancel Allianz NOW. Stop the Gaza genocide NOW! irishtimes.com/ireland/2025... uber.com/gb/en/drive/...

Clear admission from Uber in today's earning call of what was long suspected but never admitted: Uber is harvesting data from their driver workforce to train autonomous vehicle AI models to replace them.

Uber's $20bn share buy back is a MASSIVE transfer of their wage theft from exploited workers to greedy investors. It equates to $2,400 for every rider & driver on the platform or just under the total value of fares collected from passengers in Q2 '25. www.ft.com/content/6643...

The government's anti-migrant, Reform-lite, right wing posturing undermines our asylum system & employment law. The govt is facilitating platform companies to breach employment law & exploit the most vulnerable of workers the govt has a duty to protect. www.ft.com/content/e9f1...

Today Uber told @zsk.bsky.social of the BBC they were ready now to introduce driverless vehicles in London. Here is the dystopian future we face if Uber gets their way. www.workerinfoexchange.org/post/uber-s-...

Police have arrested 4 suspects for creating and leasing fake Demaekan accounts. Demaekan is the key rival to Uber Eats in Japan. The suspects charged a monthly fee of 10,000 yen per rider over the past few years. Many were from Uzbekistan without valid work permit. www3.nhk.or.jp/lnews/shutok...

Concerning that David Lammy was expecting to pay a one way fare of 360 miles for just £717. That is just £1.9 per mile for a 7 hour trip and the driver must return empty. Even brutally exploitative Bolt quotes c. €2,170 for this trip one way. 1/ mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Cometh 8pm, cometh the free meals on the corporate account for hungry lawyers working late at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London. The sub minimum wage workers that serve them are forbidden even to enter the building to wait in the lobby for their diners to descend. It is all a bit unseemly.

Door Dash are bidding to take over Deliveroo. But back in California, Uber is suing them for unfair competition. If even Uber finds Door Dash to be unethical & engaging in unfair competition, what will they do to Europe's many fine independent restaurants? about.doordash.com/en-us/news/u...

Door Dash offers £2.7bn for Deliveroo. Compare that to the £7.6bn IPO valuation in 2021. Just Eat, FreeNow and Gett all sold recently at huge losses in value. Bolt next? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The 'innovators' at Wayve, Uber's autonomous vehicle investment, are not just content with automating the actual driving, they also want to replicate and automate the emotional labour of drivers as well!

According to Pershing Square, a major investor in Uber, in the near future human drivers will only fill in gaps at periods of peak demand, most of the work will be done by autonomous vehicle fleets. Having destroyed decent work, Uber now wants to kill off employment altogether.

Pope Francis was a voice of moral strength for workers, for migrants, for Gaza and even for us non believers. RIP youtu.be/bRbUTfSds0U?...

The FTC has launched a legal complaint against Uber alleging misrepresentation and unfairly charging consumers without consent. This relates to the Uber One subscription service where consumers were bamboozled with 23 screens & 32 actions when trying to cancel. www.ftc.gov/legal-librar...

Bill Ackman owns a $2.1 billion stake in Uber. Here he is backing Trump and questioning the need for due process and respect for the basic human rights of migrants.

“The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” - Gandhi. Thoughts with the oppressed, their families and loved ones now more vulnerable to cruel abuse. Trans rights are human rights.

Bolt FAILED to pay their drivers in Sweden this week sparking concerns about the company's financial solvency. UK workers are now also v worried. Situ placed migrant workers at risk who must show evidence they are continually working as condition of visa. www.svt.se/nyheter/inri...

DEI is dying at Uber!

🧵 .Uber has gone (more) MAGA but how will Baroness Oona King of Bow, Uber's recently minted Head of DEI & former Labour MP for Bethnal & Bow, feel about the snub & having to keep a low profile lest she offend Uber's MAGA friends & the Heritage Foundation? 1/ www.sfexaminer.com/news/technol...

Isn't Britain maybe slightly over valuing the Royal Family as a magic shield?

Great to see this recognition of @workerinfox.bsky.social in EU Commission report out today: “Both the Uber & Ola cases are prime examples of successful strategic litigation that has led to the mobilisation of GDPR data subject rights vis-à-vis digital labour platforms.” op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

When Deputy Mayor Howard Dawber assured Uber's GC Tony West of @transportforlondon.bsky.social suspension of enforcement of Safety, Equalities & Regulatory Understanding testing for Uber drivers which aims to "protect children & adults at risk from harm & abuse", Tony "welcomed this intervention" 1/

Fabulous sunset in these parts.

Home Office praise for Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats on illegal working ‘beyond absurd’ @workerinfox.bsky.social claims. “The elephant in the room is why platforms would even want to allow substitutes when people with the right to work could just sign up directly," says @jamesfarrar.bsky.social

WIE response to UK government's so-called 'crackdown on illegal working in gig economy' www.workerinfoexchange.org/post/wie-res...

The cognitive dissonance is just off the scale........ www.gov.uk/government/n...

Government must act on new @mayoroflondon.bsky.social demand for powers to compel Uber to provide London journey data for public use www.workerinfoexchange.org/post/governm...

Totally unfair that Uber drivers using Teslas are being punished for Musk's despicable behaviour. Uber must immediately stop recording performance ratings for Tesla drivers employed by the platform and suspend all Tesla vehicle onboarding worldwide. www.foxbusiness.com/politics/elo...

Wild HMRC thread includes telling Deliveroo workers that they should not allow substitutes on their account (a scam legal loop hole used by Deliveroo to avoid employment rights) but instead all workers should hold accounts in their own name. Have they told the apps, DoJ and BEIS this?

Probably racist Tory councillor complains that delivery workers "probably verbally abuse you in their language because I can’t understand what they are saying....." www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/2502071...

First the children, then the elderly and now the disabled. Who next?

Uber Eats promotions for St. Patrick's Day cashes in on harmful & racist stereotypes about alcohol, food & Irishness. Besides massive promotion of booze delivery, Uber helpfully suggests "ingredients for an Irish supper" which includes only mince meat, cabbage, potatoes & butter.

RMT, TSSA & ASLEF should talk to the food delivery couriers who commute from Ilford to work in E London for sub min wage. I'm sure they'd rather not schlepp ebikes on the train either but they're victims of an evil system and a govt that has betrayed them. Causes not symptoms. Solidarity always.

Courageous "tech" "whistleblower" goes public with revelations 8 years after leaving the company. Such bravery and selflessness! There should be a new Nobel category for heroes like this who put it all on the line after passing Go and collecting 200. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Indonesia's President has directed that all gig economy employers MUST pay Eid holiday payments or face substantial fines. Great to see Indonesian gig workers get holiday pay at last but they need more comprehensive worker rights as well. jakartaglobe.id/business/thr...

Shocking decision by government - abruptly cutting all funding to @tellmamauk.bsky.social at a time when Islamophobia is rising and the world feels divided and scarily unstable. Now is the time to invest properly in groups that hold communities safe not leaving hatred unchecked to sow division.

After spending years in pursuit of worker rights for Uber drivers all the way to UK Supreme Court (a judgment Uber has yet to comply with), its distressing to hear @lewisgoodall.com, Emily Maitlis & Jon Sopel repeat disinformation from Uber for commercial sponsorship of @newsagents.bsky.social 1/

Heartbreaking to see oligarch Musk neuter US regulatory agencies necessary for public protection but what was Starmer doing recently when he demanded UK regulators promote 'growth' & then, displeased w CMA response, replaced its head w former CEO of Amazon UK. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Minicab bosses remain "confused" about their obligations as employers. Seek assurance from HMRC they won't be penalised for greed, ignorance, obfuscation, denial, learned helplessness, defiance, bullying and brutal exploitation. What a time to be alive! www.taxi-point.co.uk/post/private...

What Londoners really need is empowerment w access to data & insight. Start w giving workers & communities access to gig economy journey data just like in New York, Seattle & Chicago. See our report Dying for Data for more www.workerinfoexchange.org/public-data-... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
