Our group on Facebook isinclusive of over 600k members and we are also stepping in with trade union ACDU..It isshameful that Uber continues to defy the highest court in the land to cheat 70,000 workersout of pay for 40% of their true working time. The drivers know they deserve and are legallyentitled to much more than Uber is offering. This strike is just the beginning and there willbe much more unrest until Uber does the right thing andpays drivers all that they are owed,both pension contributions and working time.
