Several PHV drivers were racially abused by passengers in @greatermcr last night. We can't ignore this rising threat. We request decision makers to take immediate action - CCTV in all PHVs is a must to ensure driver safety @simonlightwood @LucyMPowell @MikeKaneMP @AfzalKhanMCR

Today, @GMB_union National Representatives met with @UberUK Management in #London to address our members' concerns and improve their experience on the platform. We discussed important issues, such as earnings/fares and Uber's plans to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) and the support available to our members during this transition. With our members, we are working towards a better future.

Join GMB Union family today 👇🏾

🚨NEW: @GMB_union has filed legal proceedings against Amazon in response to the company’s latest anti-union drive.

The move comes after revelations that the company has been engaged in widespread attempts to coerce staff to cancel their trade union membership.

[Habib Rehman @habibrehman75]

Decision makers across the country must step up to protect private hire drivers. It's unacceptable authorities are quick to collect fees from this sector but neglect to ensure their safety and well-being. @labour @LouHaigh @GMBPolitics @LucyMPowell

[Kate Gorton @KateGortonGMB]

We’ve been meeting Uber drivers in #Nottingham, #Leicester, #Birmingham and #StokeonTrent 🚕 different cities, same story! Join @GMB_union for a strong, united private hire sector ✊💪

[Kate Gorton @KateGortonGMB]

@pav_akhtar @chrishoofeGMB Also we represent the interests of drivers as a collective, the more drivers that are in the union the stronger their collective voice is and the more we can achieve to make working in the taxi and private hire sector better for drivers

[Kate Gorton @KateGortonGMB]

@pav_akhtar @chrishoofeGMB Sure! We represent the member should they face any issues with the operator (warnings, false allegations, deactivations etc), any licensing issues with the council (revoked or suspended licence etc), legal issues such as accused of a driving offence, parking/speeding fines…

[Kate Gorton @KateGortonGMB]

@NigelUNI 100% agree 👍

[Kate Gorton @KateGortonGMB]

@habibrehman75 @GMB_union @sahontabal0401 Great to see you today ❤️ thank you so much ✊
