UK Drivers To Stage Massive Strike Coinciding With Uber's IPO

Description

Rideshare drivers across the Atlantic have plans to sign off the Uber app and spend their time protesting in four major metro areas. The message, coordinated around Uber’s plans to go public, is a clear rebuke of the company’s IPO plan, which will make many employees wealthy overnight, but leave drivers in the same deteriorating conditions. The drivers, organized by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), have plans to log off the Uber app en masse for 9 hours on May 8th. Their American counterparts in seven cities will similarly hold a 12-hour strike on the same day.
