The Issue

We’re Uber drivers. We work long hours to keep your city moving — but we’re being pushed to the edge.


Every time you take a ride, nearly 40% of your fare goes straight to Uber, not to the person behind the wheel. We’re left with what’s left — and it’s not enough to live on.

This petition calls on government and regulators to step in and end the exploitative commission system that’s draining drivers’ livelihoods.

Here's what's happening:

  • Uber takes a huge cut of every fare, leaving us with scraps.
  • Our cost of living keeps rising — fuel, insurance, food, rent — but fares haven’t kept up.
  • We’re working 12+ hour days just to survive.
  • Protesting is a luxury we can’t afford — if we stop driving, we stop earning.
  • We are essential workers, but we’re treated as disposable. That’s why we’re asking for your support.

We demand:

  1. A cap on Uber's commission rates – fairer splits for drivers.
  2. Transparent fare breakdowns – show riders and drivers where the money goes.
  3. A living wage standard for ride-hail drivers – no more working full-time and still falling behind.

We’re not asking for more than we deserve — just a fair share of what we earn.

Stand with us. Sign this petition. Help bring justice to the drivers who keep your city moving.
