Uber will this week begin its appeal of the landmark UK employment case that will test the issue of whether its drivers are workers or self employed.
The car-booking app, which lost its licence to operate in London last week, will begin a legal appeal on Wednesday against a high-profile case won by two drivers that ruled they were “workers” and entitled to the minimum wage and holiday pay.
Uber has about 40,000 drivers in the UK capital allegedly . After Transport for London’s decision not to renew its licence, the group last week emailed a petition to users asking them “to defend the livelihoods of 40,000 licensed drivers”. which attracted more than 500000 signatures
