Drivers' union welcomes govt partnership

KOCHI: The online taxi drivers' union in Kochi has welcomed the partnership between app-based cab service Uber and Union ministry of labour and employment that enable people, who want to drive with Uber, to sign up via the national career service online portal. “Private cab drivers and even people who just want to make a little extra money in their spare time can use the portal and be part of Uber easily as the portal has simplified its process,“ said T R S Kumar, president of the drivers' union.
Uber has promised to create better opportunities for their driving partners with the launch of new initiatives and a simple sign up process for their drivers.
