Uber U.K. has launched a Work Hub for drivers to view a selection of temporary work opportunities with other companies as a way to supplement pandemic-hit ride-hailing earnings during the coronavirus crisis. The Work Hub sits within the Uber driver app and displays offers of work from third-party providers, including jobs that involve using a car to make deliveries. The ride-hailing giant rolled out a similar feature in the United States in April, offering drivers there the ability to respond to job postings from around a dozen other companies, as well as the ability to receive orders through other Uber units: Eats, Freight and Works. The recruiter, Adecco Group, is also offering temp work via the U.K. Work Hub for drivers. Aside from the United States and Britain, other markets where Uber has already launched the Work Hub for drivers are Australia, Chile, Costa Rica, Canada, Mexico, Portugal and South Africa.(SD-Agencies) |
