A 48-hour walkout looks set to go ahead in Manchester
Around 1,500 drivers are expected to walkout from 12.05am on February 13, for 48 hours, strike organisers say. They are taking the stand against Uber over a new system called ‘upfront pricing’, which they say is eating into their earnings.
“We are working so hard every day and these people are taking so much from us,” he told the Manchester Evening News. “Many times when customers get in the car they think we make a lot of money. They think the money they give to Uber is what we get. For its part, Uber says that the new pricing system can lead to changes in the size of its taking per trip, but it never is ‘as high as 40-60 per cent’.
For Omar, however, he could be earning more as a minicab driver for a local firm. He continued: “All we want is a fair payment for what we are working for. It’s a very difficult job. We want fair treatment and to get paid for what we work for.
