hundreds of VTC drivers, who gathered this Friday in front of the State Secretariat for Transport, are asking for economic support to deal with the crisis.
hundreds of VTC drivers carried out Operation Escargot in Paris, at the invitation of the INV union, to demand action against “fake VTC drivers” and to demand more “support measures to combat the crisis related to Covid-19”.
Those gathered in front of the State Secretariat for Transport demanded “numerus clausus” to “stop this farce”. “There are a lot of fake drivers,” explained Ben Ali Brahim, general secretary of the VTC INV (national Inter VTC) union. “We see fake drivers tarnishing our reputation,” he added. He referred to the “digital Wild West, where the sheriff of the city, Uber, does not want to show that its algorithm and the way it checks profiles is fake.”
“Action”
The drivers, who were then left running like a snail to Bercy, also demand economic support to deal with the crisis: “concrete measures” such as freezing contributions, insurance and bank fees, as well as a “Covid-19 premium to be able to meet our needs and save our business”.
