00:00Around 240,000 Uber drivers across Europe are taking legal action against the ride-hailing company.
00:06The collective case was filed in Amsterdam by Worker Info Exchange.
00:10Drivers in seven countries are involved, including the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
00:17They allege Uber's AI-powered pricing system has systematically reduced their earnings.
00:22The case centers on Uber's dynamic upfront pricing system, introduced from 2020 onward.
00:28Drivers claim the algorithm studies their behavior, including which trips they accept or reject.
00:34They say this can influence how much they are offered for individual journeys.
00:38One UK driver said he and a colleague were offered different fares for the same trip.
00:43Worker Info Exchange estimates UK drivers lost an average of 5,300 pound per year in real terms.
00:50Uber rejects the allegations, saying fares are calculated using real-time trip information.
00:55The case could be heard in early 2027.
00:58Its outcome may influence how AI is used to manage and pay gig economy workers across Europe.
