(en) iwa-ait - INTERNATIONAL WORKERS ASSOCIATION: Solidarity with Uber drivers! (ca)
Date
Wed, 6 Sep 2017 14:14:53 +0300
Drivers around the world have protested against UberExploitation. In Indonesia, drivers
organized in KUMAN, along with comrades from PPAS, have organized protests and a strike
against the bad working conditions and more protests and strike actions are being planned.
---- On August 19, hundreds of drivers went on strike. A few hundred rallied at the Uber
office in Jakarta while drivers in some other cities also joined in by turning off their
apps and not taking any jobs. ---- KUMAN sent a list of demands to Uber, concerning pay
and conditions and met with the company, which did not allow it to bring legal
representation. Among the demands are raised rates and not forcing the drivers to take
free fares as part of Uber promos. ---- While Uber drivers are struggling to survive on
the lousy rates, other drivers across the country have also been hard hit by Uber's
practices, which drive down rates in the whole industry. Tens of thousands of drivers
protested against Uber in 2016.
PPAS, an anarchosyndicalist organization in Indonesia says that international solidarity
would be welcome and the ASF, the Australian section of the IWA will be holding actions
around Australia on September 9.
If you would like to support the drivers, you can do so by:
- sharing information about Uber's practices and the KUMAN protest
- organizing a solidarity picket or other type of action against UBER
- sending a letter or email to UBER offices saying you support the workers and won't use
Uber due to its exploitation
