Taking on Uber

GMB's campaign against Uber has made headlines and waves across the union movement and big business as well. In September, Transport for London (the body that awards licenses to operate for private hire drivers in London) announced that it would not renew Uber's license to operate unless it changed the way it worked.

GMB has long called for Uber to play by the same rules as everyone else and last year won a landmark legal case for our Uber members (and for private hire and professional driver members who are systematically undercut by Uber) in which the courts ruled that Uber employs it's workers, not as it likes to say, that they are self-employed.

This is just way in which GMB are taking on the Gig Economy, and telling big business that they can't run rough shod over our members and their rights.
