Good news!
The day-to-day lives of millions of gig economy workers, like Uber and Deliveroo drivers, may be about to change thanks to a future European law. We managed to push Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to agree on a bill that will regulate vicious labor practices of Uber and other platforms! This could not have happened without the pressure of thousands of SumOfUs members like you.
But there is still a hurdle to clear: some MEPs, especially from the EPP and RE political parties, are working hard to stop this bill from going through! In the coming hours, in the European Parliament, these MEPs, who are true Uber spokespersons, will try to gut the bill of everything that makes it great for workers.
We only have a few hours to act and we’re asking you to do three things:
Click here to email MEPs, urging them to fully support the platform workers' rules deal reached on December 12.
Do you have Twitter? Click here to send a tweet to MEPs and ask them to do the right thing!
Call MEP Dragos Pislaru at +33 388175519 and MEP Andreas SCHWAB at +33 388175938 and tell their office that you support the December 12 agreement.
Uber-friendly MEPs are gathering 70 MPs to vote in Parliament in order to block the EU bill.
If their call succeeds, it will completely destroy this bill that can change the lives of millions of gig economy workers.
To prevent this, the most effective thing is to contact our MEPs directly and remind them that WE elected them so that they do not flinch under the pressure of Uber and its lobbyists.
can you contact MEPs to get our message across: don't touch the platform workers' rules deal reached on December 12!
