Description
The Taxi Union is a non-profit organisation which organises workers in the taxi and courier sectors, including those engaged in platform-based work. The organisation was founded by drivers and hauliers as a reaction to the challenges associated with their profession. The Taxi Union’s overarching aim is to improve working conditions in the industry.
The Taxi Union has its own taxi app, Fair taxi, which is 75 percent owned by drivers and riders. The app aims to offer its drivers better pay and working conditions than other taxi apps. Jobs through the app are only available to members of the Taxi Union.
