Uber brand takes a bashing
		As Uber practices of exploitation come under ever-widening legal scrutiny, so does the socially irresponsible gig economy as a whole, writes PAUL DONOVAN
	
			EXPLOITATION of workers, failing to abide by regulations in London, cover-up of a major data breach and sexual harassment claims are just some of the features of the past year for beleaguered car hire company Uber.
In Britain, the future of the car hire company has come under threat, as TFL refused to renew its licence to operate in the capital.
Uber was accused of a number of irregularities, including its approach to reporting serious criminal offences, its approach to how medical certificates are obtained and use of blocking software, stopping regulatory authorities getting full access to the app.
The company has begun an appeal in the courts.
