Uber workers start a strike in Bizkaia to charge above the minimum wage
- The strike will last 27 days and will last until 6 January. They denounce that they work “365 days and 24 hours” in “unsustainable” working conditions to collect the minimum wage, and require a real computation of the working day.
Bilboko Foru Jauregiaren aurrean eginiko elkarretaratzea ELA
The workers of the Uber company in Bizkaia started a strike this Wednesday that will last until January 6 for 27 days. They are calling for an agreement to guarantee the improvement of the minimum wage currently paid, the actual calculation of the day, greater safety in vehicles and the perception of night and public holidays.
Uber workers have focused on the Bilbao Foral Palace to call on the company to unblock negotiations on the convention, which expired on December 31, 2023. The strikers have reported that they resume their proposal to keep the minimum wage after several months of meeting with Uber, with which they have been on strike.
The ELA union delegate, Sergio Vadillo, regretted from the meeting held on Tuesday that Uber "does not take into account the cost of living per geographical area", referring to the refusal of Bizkaia workers to accept the conditions of the rest of the Spanish workforce.
In this sense, Vadillo has stressed that drivers "work 365 days a year and 24 hours" under "unbearable" working conditions to "collect the interprofessional minimum wage". In fact, “they may be working 12 hours a day, but they will only be counted as real working time as the hours being spent in the contracted service,” he explained.
