The International Alliance of App-based Transport Workers (IAATW) is a global union federation of ridesharing and other gig transport workers.

History

IAATW was founded in January 2020 during an international conference of app-based transport trade unions hosted by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain.[1][2]

In July 2020, IAATW together with the App Drivers and Couriers Union and NGO Worker Info Exchange started a campaign of supporting 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 unions that Uber drivers should be considered as employees. Afterwards, IAATW affiliates relaunched a similar case in South Africa and considered opening one in Nigeria.[4]
