Unite Private Hire Drivers in London through Their Own App Operator


Unite Private Hire Drivers in London through Their Own App Operator
The Issue
I, alongside many others, have experienced first-hand the hardship of being a private hire driver in London. Constantly squeezed by app operators that cut into our hard-earned wages, we need to find a solution for ourselves. Unifying private hire drivers by creating our own app operator would ensure our fair earnings and represent our interests effectively.
Private hire drivers constitute a significant portion of the transport workforce in London. However, our work is seldom appreciated as it should be, with app-based companies often exploiting our labor. It is believed that private hire drivers earn considerably less than their due share because a large portion is taken by the platforms they operate on.
By creating our own operator app, we would have control over our hours and income without a third party leeching our hard-earned wages.
This move ensures fair wages and a sense of unity amongst us. It gives us power over our profession and beats back against corporate exploitation. This drive for change is personal and integral to the livelihood of every private hire driver in London.
Help us take back control of our livelihoods. Sign this petition and unite private hire drivers in London under their own app operator.
