Uber cuts 3,000 more jobs

Uber has announced it will cut 3,000 more jobs worldwide as part of an action plan to scale back its business.

The latest job cuts come after plans to cut 3,700 jobs were announced earlier this month, meaning around a quarter of the company's jobs will be lost.

The workforce cuts do not include drivers, whom Uber considers independent contractors.

Uber said it would reorganise its remaining staff and cut back spending in areas that are not part of its core personal transport or food delivery businesses, including its AI Labs.

The number of Uber rides dropped 80% around the world last month as the company was hit by coronavirus restrictions.
