Uber drivers join Food Workers, but what about a contract?

A meeting of disgruntled Toronto Uber Black drivers has taken place at which these new members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) expressed the desire for a better deal from the ride-sharing giant. UFCW is the union that represents Loblaws employees. In total the union has some 1.3 million members in Canada and the US, so it is a formidable representative. For all its success, Uber has maintained a transparent charade that it is merely a technology company. No employees right? Let’s see what happens when the UFCW tries to get a contract.
