The company is forcing its Seattle drivers to listen to a company podcast it hopes will persuade them from attempting to unionize, reports the Wall Street Journal. Drivers must reportedly listen to the podcast before the Uber app will allow them to begin accepting rides each day. The WSJ says the podcast covers subjects including voting rights, collective bargaining, and city council hearings. Seattle-area drivers are also receiving text messages, phone surveys, and meeting invites from the company in hopes of convincing them not to unionize.
