The App drivers and Couriers union (ADCU) called for 24- hours strike for public and driver for ceasing the use of Uber. This strike is against the “exploitation of workers”. This came after the whistleblowing of the Uber files, a trove of thousands of leaked confidential documents that show how the ride-hail company broke laws.

Karl Marx, Engles and Vladimir Lenin or any leftist movement have always supported the workers’ movement and strikes because of the capitalist nature of the society. The secretly lobbied governments and exploited drivers safety have been expanded aggressively from 2013 to 2017. As Karl Marx said, “let the capitalist tremble on Workers’ movement”, the strike of Uber drivers have made it impossible to travel for passengers. Workers have been brutally exploited by their employers and also because of the “political graft”.

The ADCU had asked drivers not to open the app on Wednesday and asked passengers to not use the service. The union also held a public demonstration at Uber Uk’s head office ay Aldgate Towers in London between 12pm and 2pm on Wednesday. The Union demanded from the government to immediately follow the UK’s Supreme Court ruling on worker rights in full, which last year “re-classified Uber drivers as workers”. Also they demanded that Uber pays its drivers back pay owed as a result of the court ruling; and end “unethical political influencing in the UK”.

These demands are all ethical demands which have been put up by the Union. Also it is revealed that after court’s ruling Uber didn’t make any changes to treat the driver. The minimum rights of workers have been disrespected and neglected by the capitalist class from time immemorial. As Martin Luther King said, “the labour movement was the principal that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress”. This is the reason why these strikes are necessary to improve the condition of working class. WhatsOn stands in solidarity with workers movement.
