More than 124,000 documents for the period between 2013 and 2017 got in the issue of The Guardian and the International Consortium of investigative journalists. They cover Uber's operations in 40 countries. It was when Uber was run by co-founder Travis Kalanick, who had a rather aggressive policy.
The company consciously broke the laws, took extreme measures to avoid justice, secretly lobbied governments, received help from leading politicians and used violence against drivers.
Over the past 5 years, the company has continued to spend millions on lobbying and marketing campaigns. In this way, they can continue to employ their drivers as independent contractors rather than employees.
