Union representative says drivers are concerned about safety of UberPool and how revenue will be shared
Uber faces a union-backed protest against its decision to make it compulsory for its London drivers to offer a new minicab sharing service.
GMB, the union for Uber drivers, has written to the company calling on it to reverse a decision not to allow drivers to opt out of the UberPool car-sharing service, which launched in London on Friday. Uber says the new scheme will help cut congestion and bring down the cost of travel for passengers.
