Drivers take legal action against Uber to demand their data

by editor July 20, 2020
July 20, 2020

A group of U.K. Uber drivers filed a complaint today against the U.S. ride-hailing company in the Netherlands over the company’s alleged failure to provide them access to their personal data.

The group also said it demanded more transparency on the company’s algorithmic decision-making, arguing they were entitled to both under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

“Drivers must have full transparency over algorithmic management and complete access to their data so they can build real collective bargaining power in their union. Once again, Uber is flouting the law and exploiting low-paid workers,” Azeem Hanif, the App Drivers and Couriers Union (ADCU) chair in Nottingham, said in a statement. 

The ADCU, the International Alliance of App-based Transport Workers (IAATW), an umbrella group for unions, and Worker Info Exchange, an NGO said they were supporting the group of drivers in their legal action.

A spokesperson for Uber said the company “works hard to provide any requested personal data that individuals are entitled to” and provides explanation when it’s not able to.

Director of Worker Info Exchange James Farrar has long been urging the company for access to data and more transparency of algorithmic-based management decisions. The ADCU encouraged all Uber drivers and Uber Eats couriers across the U.K. and the EU to join the case to demand their data.
