| Description | When hundreds of strikers crowded outside Uber's East London head office, it was the Italians who started up Bella Ciao, the iconic song of the Italian partisans. Three of them, with their arms around each other, stared up at the glass and steel of the HQ as they sang. This was the first national Uber ride-hailing strike in the UK—but it had been built on the back of a wave of mobilisation led primarily by Uber Eats delivery workers. The two workforces were responding to each other's initiative. Amongst these striking Uber taxi workers was an Uber Eats courier from Wales, who had booked a cheap coach ticket to London at the last minute just to support their action. He had brought his own megaphone. It was an unlikely, heterogeneous movement, but it was a movement. Book Name: The Gig Economy |
