March 2023 - Australia - Uber drivers criticize ride-hailing giant’s ‘misleading’ campaign

Uber launched a campaign of how the company’s flexibility to work when, where, and how they want helps Australians wanting to earn a side income.

Drivers said it was an attempt to “weaponise flexibility”.

The secretary for the Rideshare Driver Network – an organisation that advocates for drivers – claims the company is already directing workers as employees, but with none of the protections and benefits.
