The union said that one of its people, working exclusively for Uber, got £5.03 ($6.45) consistently in August 2015 after costs and charges were considered. That is underneath the national the most minimal pay allowed by law. 
 
Meanwhile, Uber's terms and conditions inferred the driver's exercises were controlled by the association, so he should have been seen as an expert, rather than autonomously utilized, the union said.
