The UK Supreme Court ruled that Uber drivers should be considered employees, granting them rights such as minimum wage and paid leave. This decision challenges Uber's business model, which classified drivers as independent contractors. The ruling was in favor of a group of drivers who argued for employee status due to the control Uber exerts over their work. Uber, which operates with thousands of drivers in London, had claimed that drivers choose their schedules and work for multiple platforms. The decision allows drivers to seek compensation and could lead to more drivers being recognized as employees.
