On Monday 29 April, scores of Uber drivers protested over pay in Birmingham.
BirminghamLive reports that up to 100 gathered outside the firm's office before a convoy formed near Birmingham New Street Station.
The demonstrators claim their pay has fallen and feel unfairly treated by the app-based operator. The firm said all drivers are guaranteed a National Living Wage, holiday pay and sickness protection.
The demo was held at Uber Birmingham Greenlight Hub in Aston for three hours until lunchtime. A convoy of cars then formed outside Birmingham New Street.
Drivers blared their horns and a blue smoke flare was set off.
“We are doing the work, driving our cars, paying the tax, paying the outrageous insurance premiums and we’re only getting 40 per cent," said Minhaj Uddin, from the Uber Drivers' Union UK.
He added: "We're here because we're suffering. We organised this (the demo) for three-and-a-half months during our own work and other commitments.
"We have to put everything aside to organise this. We don't want to be the enemy of Uber - we want to be friends. They call us partner, but they are not treating us like a partner."
Uber said Living Wage and holiday pay was based on just over 12 per cent of earnings.
An Uber spokesperson said: “We regularly engage with drivers, including through our industry-leading agreement with GMB union which ensures all drivers have access to full union representation.”
