Strike Results – Fast 4 Uber Log-OFF, 5th September 2018 RSDU - RideShare Drivers United | Australia & USA

Fast4 International Uber Log-OFF strike was completed successfully in 4 different countries.

Thousands of drivers in Australia, United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand took part, switching off their Uber driver app from 6am Until 10am (in each city own standard time).

This was the first ever International Uber Log-OFF strike organized/coordinated by the RSDU and we are happy to report impressive drivers attendance in most countries.

The shortage of drivers in a number of cities created high surge conditions, an indication of drivers unity putting together a successful strike effort in these cities.

This was RSDU’s first ever international effort, uniting thousands of drivers across multiple countries. A successful effort!

We may have not won the war on the 5th of September but wars are won one battle at a time.

Drivers! Our fight is not over, it is far from over. Uber is a multibillion corporation with a business model that rely on exploiting, shortchanging and cheating YOU the driver. All under the watch of our Government bodies or/and other organisations supposedly responsible to stop corporations from engaging in such activity.

Uber continue to claim they are working with their “independent partner” drivers, providing them with various feedback channels, support lines, roundtable meetings etc. but as many drivers will attest these channels are just a media PR and a waste of everyone’s time. Drivers feedback is being ignored, drivers are never consulted on upcoming major changes and their contract terms are often considerably changed for the worse, with very little notice.

Drivers working conditions remain poor. This after ALL the feedback drivers have been providing Uber for the last 3 years or more, directly and via the press, in Australia and all around the world, in courts and on street demonstrations. Clearly! Uber doesn’t listen to feedback, Uber doesn’t want to listen to drivers feedback.

Thanks again to all of you committed brave and united drivers from around the world who participated in our strike on the 5th September and took a stand, insisting on protesting and working together to improve everyone’s working conditions and the future of the rideshare industry in your home country. Your actions are a true inspiration.

The RSDU intends to continue the fight for best drivers interests, help coordinate and centralize global efforts in bringing companies like Uber to take responsibility for their drivers welfare and lift their game. Forcing Uber to respect drivers fair pay and conditions and help create a sustainable and viable Ride-share industry here and around the world.

We encourage drivers group leaders from all around the world to contact us for more information and to learn how to be part of this global united effort.

Stay united! Stay tuned! More to come…
