Uber said it had held meetings and spoken to thousands of them as part of its attempts to improve conditions for its more than 50,000 drivers.

LONDON: Taxi app Uber will improve conditions for its British drivers with changes including in-app tipping, after criticism from lawmakers and unions for not giving them more rights.

Drivers for Uber, food courier Deliveroo and other apps tend to work for a number of firms without a fixed contract in what has become known as the "gig economy".
