Uber drivers move action against company for data breaches and remuneration

Uber drivers in the European Union and United Kingdom have filed a collective action against the company in Amsterdam, alleging GDPR violations and that the dynamic remuneration system reduces their earnings. The action, filed by Worker Info Exchange International at the Amsterdam district court, represents thousands of drivers in seven countries. The organization claims that Uber makes decisions about wages and trip allocation entirely automatically, without human intervention, and improperly uses personal data for machine learning. Experts estimate that 48% of drivers in the Netherlands lost on average 7,508 euros per year and 66.7% in the United Kingdom lost approximately 6,217 pounds annually. Uber denies the allegations, stating that drivers are free to accept or refuse trips. This action comes weeks after the Dutch data protection authority fined Uber 825 million euros for deactivating driver accounts automatically.
