Rideshare drivers across the world are boycotting Uber for as long as 24 hours today, demanding fare increases and lower commissions paid to Uber.

Uber and Lyft drivers are logging off ride-hailing apps and taking to the streets in cities around the world Wednesday to protest against working conditions and wages.

In the U.K., drivers planned a nine-hour boycott of the Uber app from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time in London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Glasgow. Hundreds of drivers are also expected to protest outside Uber's London headquarters on Wednesday afternoon. By 3:30 p.m. local time, roughly 30 people were outside the offices.

The U.K. drivers are demanding fares to increase to £2 per mile, up from the current rate of £1.25 per mile in London. The unions also want to lower the commission they pay Uber per ride from 25% to 15%.
