Today's decision by @TfL to roll back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount is deeply disappointing. Drivers who did the right thing and went electric - just like City Hall asked - now face paying thousands of pounds in new costs. We are also losing one of London's most effective clean

📺Seen on BBC News - drivers who switched to EVs may face thousands of pounds in extra costs because of proposed changes to the Congestion Charge. Ordinary Londoners could see their cab fares go up if fewer private hire and taxi drivers come into central London. 1/2

Many #Uber drivers are reporting deductions of 50% or more between what riders pay and what actually gets passed on to them - far above the company’s stated average. This raises serious questions about transparency, fairness, and sustainability in the #GigEconomy. #UberDrivers

Friday Prayers @ Heathrow you will note that drivers are having to attend Friday prayers outdoors Heathrow also wish to remove a prayer room & suggest that drivers leave the queue pray elsewhere (Pay to pray) this is inappropriate. Take note of some of the rusty driver seating.

Better Toilet Access for Taxi & Private Hire Drivers Taxi and private hire drivers spend long hours on the road - yet many have nowhere to go. It’s not just about clean facilities; it’s about having access at all. #DriverWelfare #PublicHealth #TransportEquality #fyp

Big gig operators must come clean. Stop hiding behind token “cleaning fees.” Pay drivers properly. Cover the full loss of time when platform issues hit - like when riders are sick in the vehicle. Fair pay. Fair treatment. Nothing less. #gmbunion #FairPay #GigEconomy

No worker should face abuse just for doing their job. GMB is at the heart of shaping policy and pressing for urgent action - driver protection must be a priority. #MembersFirst #SafetyAtWork
Today, GMB met TFL to discuss CCTV. However, during discussion, we were deeply concerned to see further confirmation of verbal & physical assult figures that are truly disturbing. We are close to launching our campaign on driver protection. #membersfirst #makeworkbetter

Yesterday, the GMB Uber Committee met with the company in Bristol. We spoke up for our members and raised the key issues drivers face every day: * Fair pay & declining earnings * Wait times & job card visibility * Sick pay & safety on the job …and much more.
