Description:

Uber drivers have begun negotiations for their first-ever collective agreement with the company.

Following the Employment Court ruling that a group of Uber drivers were employees and not contractors for the ride sharing company, hundreds more drivers have unionised.

The Uber drivers will use these negotiations to push for better pay and working conditions.

However, BusinessDesk tech columnist Peter Griffin says workplace benefits will come at a cost to consumers, as riders might have to pay more in Uber fares.
