ChrisMayLA6, As Uber heads towards it licence renewal in London (its current 30 month licence expires in Sept), black cab drivers have launched a (renewed) legal challenge to the orginal TfL licence which they claim was unlawful & illegally reduced their income.
Its not a new case/claim but its revival at this time suggests Uber's attempt to co-opt cabbies has largely failed (with only low hundreds joining Uber's black cab scheme).
Once again gig economy practices will be tested in court - good!
