✊ All this week, we have been taking action to make sure drivers’ voices are heard: border blockades, info flashmobs and a LOT of leaflets. Check out the snow, rain and sun of a busy week across Europe! ❄️🌧️☀️

😥🚛🇮🇩 This is such a sad story! A Polish truck driver has been found dead in his lorry at a parking lot in Italy. Authorities think he was poisoned by fumes from a gas burner that he used to cook food in his vehicle - something unavoidable when drivers are forced to stop in places with no facilities during months too cold for cooking outside. Condolences to the family and loved ones.
Tragedies like this should NOT be happening in 2019. Europe needs to put safety first, and end the inhumane conditions in road transport.
Dead Pole found in truck in Italy

Body of dead Polish driver was found in the cockpit of a truck parked in town of Termoli, Italy.
Sadly it’s not because he stopped somewhere with no facilities, it’s because his wages are that shit he can’t afford to eat in truck stops or restaurants RIP 😕
voilà encore un de plus...dans l'anonymat le plus total,RIP.

UBER BAN IN BRUSSELS
A local judge in Brussels has confirmed that uber is illegal in the Belgian capital, because current rules state that only licenced and labelled taxis can offer services.
What do you think? Can uber ever become a source of quality jobs and reliable taxi services? Or are rulemakers right to ban it altogether?
Uber est illégal à Bruxelles, confirme une juge

Uber and out 🤮

I'm for banning Uber too, unfortunately they legalised it in Croatia. Cars are all marked and they shouldn't be older than 7 years. Unfortunately, that leads to most drivers having to lend the car from some uber subcontractor (for around 600 eur/month) and it forces them to work 12+ hours/day and that's just plain slavery.

Ellos tambien tiene licencia y responsable.y bien mas parato..y nos llevan al mismos lugares.y tambien paga inpuestos .se cobram mas baratos es que si puede .los taxis .con sus banderadas..es un lujo.

So good😆😆
Ban the hell out of Uber. Kicked out of Denmark (I am proud of that). Certain rules must apply to vehicles doing business transport, and one must be sure the drivers qualified and tested for the job. Don't let unprofessionals do professional transport!
