Make self employed uber drivers obtain at least 85% of their earnings.

Currently Uber charges it’s self employed drivers 25%. From the remaining 75% we must pay for fuel, taxes, insurance and to finance the car. This leaves us with little funds to live off and makes it difficult to pay off bills and provide for our families.

Fee agreements between self-employed workers and private companies like Uber are the responsibility of the people and organisations involved, not the UK Parliament or Government. Employment law doesn’t cover self-employed people in most cases because they are their own boss.

You could start a new petition about something the UK Government or Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking to change the law to make sure that all self-employed workers are paid a minimum wage for the hours they work.
