Glasgow Uber drivers protest as they feel 'forced' to work up to 100-hour weeks

A large group of Uber drivers in Glasgow gathered in the street to call on the on-demand taxi service to raise their fares and review the current app system in place.

Uber drivers in Glasgow gathered in the city to protest the 'long working hours' and the 'unsustainable' fare prices.

Drivers are calling on the company to raise the prices of journeys to ensure that those working under the Uber banner can make a living wage. The group is also asking for the on-demand taxi giants to review their current app system which has allegedly logged some drivers out for 72 hours at random points, causing a loss of revenue.

"When we look at Uber's competitors, they charge £1.70 per mile after the first mile, whereas Uber drivers are getting paid approximately only 0.97 pence per mile after the first mile. This is particularly concerning when considering that fuel costs are around £1.66 per litre.
