Uber drivers in Bristol came together today (March 30) to protest about their treatment by the company. It is a growing fact that drivers are unhappy, and many are turning to rival companies such as Bolt which have grown in popularity over the past 12 months.
Earlier in the day, around 25 drivers gathered at Uber's headquarters in Stoke's Croft, Bristol, to make a point to their employer. The main issues raised were surrounding pay, driver safety, and unfair dismissals of drivers within the city.
The App Drivers and Couriers Union (ADCU) was behind the latest protest with the organiser Asad Uzzaman claiming that "they keep lying to us". This is despite claims from Uber that drivers are getting paid more now than they were before the pandemic, and pledging to continue to work with the drivers' union - which won a battle last year to get recognised by Uber.
