Uber drivers from the EU and United Kingdom file unprecedented lawsuit

RTP Notícias3 September 2026 at 17:20

Uber drivers in the European Union and the United Kingdom have initiated a joint legal action against the ride-hailing company. This is considered an unprecedented action, bringing together drivers from multiple European countries in a collective lawsuit.

The drivers allege that Uber violated data protection agreements. According to the professionals, the company allegedly failed to adequately handle their personal information as regulations require.

Beyond the data issue, the drivers claim that Uber's remuneration system significantly reduces their earnings. The amounts paid per ride would be lower than what they consider fair.

The action represents a coordinated movement among workers from different EU and UK countries, seeking better working conditions and transparency from the platform.
