Uber drivers stage strikes in UK and US

The United Private Hire Drivers Branch of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain said it will stage a nine-hour boycott of the app between 07:00 and 16:00, and expects hundreds of drivers to take part.

"We call on the public not to cross the digital picket line on 8 May but to stand in solidarity with impoverished drivers across the world who have made Uber so successful." An Uber spokeswoman said:"Drivers are at the heart of our service - we can't succeed without them - and thousands of people come into work at Uber every day focused on how to make their experience better, on and off the road.

The company did not disclose how it will price its shares on 9 May, but it is reportedly targeting a range of $48 to $55.

Great news, god knows what previous convictions they have.

They get away with sexual assaults, what more do they want?

BBCLondonNews I would pay them less.

These characters are self employed and can work for whoever they like, if they don't like working for Uber then move to another company. Better still go and get a Hackney licence or an operators licence and find out what true self employment is all about.

Only 'hundreds' expected to strike? 😅😅 While the greedy other thousands continue to work 😅😅there's 2 in my dead end street as l speak!!

BBCLondonNews The public don't give a fuck about the drivers.. they just want cheap and that's what they get.

Try that one in Afghanistan. Good luck with that
