British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday that taxi company Uber should not be shut down but instead should comply better with labour and safety standards.
"We
need to make sure that our employment law keeps pace with the way that
technology is shaping modern working practices," May told business
leaders meeting at the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
"Take the
example of Uber ... a company that has got things wrong along the way,
with safety issues and concerns over protections for its workers," she
added.
"The answer isn't to shut Uber down but rather to address
those concerns and to establish and enforce the standards and
protections that can make this technology work for customers and
employees alike."
