TheInternational Alliance of App-based Transport Workers (IAATW) is a network oftrade unions organizingridesharing and othergig transport workers.
IAATW was founded in January 2020 during an international conference of app-based transport trade unions hosted by theUPHD which is now branded as App Drivers & Couriers Union,[1] with financial support from theOpen Society Foundations.[2]
During the conference, organisers and drivers shared success stories and challenges, reflecting on the global nature of the gig economy as well as country specific challenges, likeProposition 22 in California.[2]
In July 2020, IAATW together with theApp Drivers and Couriers Union and NGOWorker Info Exchange started a campaign ofsupporting Uber drivers in filing legal complaints against the company for failing to provide access to their personal data.[3]
In February 2021, UK judges ruled in favour of IAATW-affiliated membersApp Drivers & Couriers Union thatUber drivers should be considered as workers. Afterwards, IAATW affiliates relaunched a similar case in South Africa and considered opening one in Nigeria.[4]
