We exist because drivers deserved better.
The private hire industry in the UK has undergone a seismic shift in the past decade. Platforms that once promised flexible, fair income for drivers have increasingly used algorithmic management, opaque policies, and one-sided contracts to extract maximum value while transferring maximum risk to the people doing the actual work.
The 2021 Supreme Court ruling in Uber BV v Aslam was a turning point — it confirmed what many drivers already knew. But knowing your rights and being able to exercise them are two very different things. That gap is why Uber Driver Union exists.
Uber Drivers Union are not a trade union in the traditional sense — we are a support platform, an advocacy service, and a knowledge resource. We connect UK drivers with the information, tools, and people they need to protect their income and assert their rights.
Our Independence
We are independent and not affiliated with Uber, Bolt, TfL, or any platform operator, nor are we connected to any political party. Our services are sustained through membership fees and support from organisations that advocate for workers’ rights within the UK gig economy.
Our Values
What we
stand for.
These aren’t words on a wall. They’re the decisions we make every day, about who we serve, how we operate, and what we’ll never compromise on.
