Uber is facing a legal challenge from drivers who say that they should be recognised officially as workers at the company, as calls grow for new rights for the UK’s large number of self-employed individuals. This could pave the way for Uber drivers to be entitled to holiday benefits and the national living wage.
In a tribunal hearing described as “the case of the year in UK employment law”, lawyers working for a group of Uber drivers will argue that the terms and conditions of their work with the company mean that they are not technically self-employed and should be entitled to a range of benefits that they currently do not receive.
If you work as a driver for Uber anywhere in the world we’d like to hear from you. What has your experience been like with the company? Do you earn as much as you expected each week, or are there hidden costs? Do you feel that you should have workers’ rights?
