Why Uber s Loss Is a Win for Labor Rights - Open Society Foundations

Open Society Foundations Why Uber’s Loss Is a Win for Labor Rights A Victory for Workers Uber drivers celebrate a recent court ruling outside the Supreme Court in London, on February 19, 2021. © Frank Augstein/AP On February 19, workers in the gig economy scored a major victory against exploitation when the United Kingdom Supreme Court, in a unanimous verdict, ruled that Uber drivers are in fact “workers” and therefore eligible for employment rights, including minimum wages and vacations. The Supreme Court ruling reinforces what Uber drivers have always known that Uber is an employer and cannot shirk commitments to maintain the most basic of standards. The ruling in this case is a significant milestone in the fight to ensure rights for workers in the gig economy.

Ola, Uber drivers say they are exhausted, fear being wiped out

Drivers strike in Hyderabad | Credit: IFAT Rajesh Kumar doesn’t have many enemies in life. But, Uber, for which he drives a cab everyday, is starting to look like one, he says. Kumar was one of the 40-odd Uber and Ola drivers who protested at Jantar Mantar in Delhi last week, against the ride-sharing companies’ various policies. These drivers want the government to intervene and fix the fares for Ola and Uber, like it does for other taxis in the country. They also wanted respite from paying road tax for at least two years, and for the prices of petrol and diesel to immediately go down.
