Kenya’s Transport Union Demands Justice for Drivers Accused of Exploitation by Uber & Bolt

A Kenyan transport union is taking action against ride-hailing companies Uber and Bolt, alleging they engage in unfair labor practices that violate drivers’ constitutional rights. The Transport Workers Union of Kenya (TAWU Kenya) plans to file a petition in the Employment and Labour Relations Court, aiming for a solution to what it considers exploitative practices. 📚 This comes as the union accuses the companies of imposing unfair commission deductions, arbitrary account deactivations, and mishandling driver data without proper transparency or legal process.
