Strikes planned for 2025: Elizabeth line train drivers and taxi app drivers to walk out
Briefly

Uber, Bolt, and Addison Lee drivers are set to strike for six hours amid ongoing disputes over wages and working conditions. This comes as Elizabeth Line train drivers also prepare for multiple strike days over a rejected 4.5% pay increase. The IWGB highlights concerning working hours of up to 80 hours per week for drivers. Additionally, over 100 members of the UVW union are protesting at various museums, calling for better pay. The situation reflects escalating tensions in labor relations across multiple sectors in the UK during February.
Without drivers, these companies are nothing but apps. Our work is what makes their profits.
We are disappointed that drivers on the Elizabeth line have rejected a 4.5 percent pay rise and voted for industrial action.
This action, according to the union, was unprecedented and would be the longest strike at all three institutions.
Wilson James said it was looking for a solution that balances fair pay with the need to remain financially responsible.
