@ADCUnion is in Amsterdam today, with drivers from across Europe, to mark the filing, with the Amsterdam District Court, of the Dynamic Pay Claim against Uber. The landmark collective action by drivers, led by @WorkerInfoX, is directly challenging @Uber's algorithmic pay system and demanding compensation for lost earnings and harm to drivers. Here's our General Secretary, Cristina: "I am here today, standing in solidarity with drivers across Europe, to mark this historic moment. Drivers have beaten Uber before, and we will stand with drivers across Europe as we bet Uber again." Drivers can still join the claim. Find out how at dynamicpay.org/adcu-dpc-welc…

@ADCUnion は今日、欧州各地のウーバー運転手と共にアムステルダム地裁を訪れ、同社によるダイナミック・ペイ（変動報酬）について訴状を提出した。@WorkerInfoXが主導するこの画期的な集団訴訟は、アルゴリズムに基づく報酬システムに異議を唱え、運転手が失った収入などに対する補償を求めるもの。

@andyburnham I don’t expect that you’ll see this tweet but I just want to ask you if you’ll look into Uber’s practice of dynamic pricing for driver pay which @WorkerInfoX has just published a study showing a negative impact on our hourly earnings while Ubers margins have gone up

@sainsburys doesn’t care for their staff either during this heatwave
refusing to provide extra water for their delivery drivers & if you make an unscheduled stop to get a drink you’re being pulled into a disciplinary meeting
So hopefully a nice customer will offer you a drink

piped.video/_EuTx5_pAoY?si=WlWH… How disgusting is this? @Uber is flaunting its lavish, multibillion Euro HQ in Amsterdam, where there's free food all day for staff and workers feel "my opinion matters." Peak shamelessness, says @ADCUnion, when our members are barely making minimum wage. Join ADCU today, the authentic voice for app drivers and couriers across the UK, supporting and representing workers in the platform economy. And start fighting back. adcu.org.uk/join

My colleague Cansu Safak collaborated with the TUC on this important new report. Dynamic Pay is one of the most sinister developments in the labour market in decades and needs to be banned urgently.

It is a HSE legal requirement that restaurants MUST provide access to toilets for delivery workers. @wagamama_uk Camden force couriers to use a "Deliver-loo" separate from customers. Can you guess which one is which? Much easier to exploit a humiliated & marginalised workforce!

Important day tomorrow in Stichting @WorkerInfoX legal action to stop Dynamic Pay. Uber drinking in the last chance saloon tonight. We meet with their lawyers tomorrow in last ditch effort. I'm hoping they'll see sense & meet our demands so that much unpleasantness can be avoided
