The Employment Appeal Tribunal has today confirmed its decision in the Uber case thay the Uber drivers are workers and not self-employed and are workers and therefore qualify for worker's rights so holiday pay, sick pay, NMW etc.

Thanks to Daniel Barnett for the speedy update.

Here is a snapshot from the BBC website

More to follow on this landmark case.

All the best

  • Interesting one. I wonder what other examples of the gig economy could see same/similar rulings in terms of worker rights?

    That said, Uber say they aren't gig: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41400745

    Uber is not part of the 'gig economy'
    The taxi-hailing firm tells a tribunal it operates a similar business model to local taxi firms.
