Uber drivers must be treated as workers rather than self-employed, the UK’s Supreme Court has ruled.
The decision could mean thousands of Uber drivers are set to be entitled to minimum wage and holiday pay.
The ruling could leave the ride-hailing app facing a hefty compensation bill, and have wider consequences for the gig economy. More

Screw it, no one cares about Uber.
Chef Pete update.
The best jokes work both ways. I wore my mechanics overalls with the Kyle name tag on them today. Why? BECAUSE THIS JOB IS KICKING MY ASS.
You know what’s great though? These people DON’T CARE. It’s a small business. I never even filled out an application.
So, long story short…..I can’t seem to get fired from this place and if I have to miss work……because of…..work…I need to make sure my shifts are covered.
After all the hoopla and uproar (still no sign of the actual Chef Pete”) it came down to this.
“So what’s your last name Kyle? I have to put something in the books.”
“Broflovski, Ma’am.”
Next I figure I’ll get a shave and a haircut and hang out at the Army Reserve Tank depot. If things pan out… I’ma’ be a tank commander.

Next thing you know, hookers will be called city employees.
Most of them already are, the job description doesn’t vary a whole lot.
“The decision could mean thousands of Uber drivers are set to be unemployed.” There, fixed it for them…
@Kt; “Next thing you know, hookers will be called city employees.”
Or, vice president.
Hmmmm. I wonder if I should run for something….
Just need a cool name….
Kinda confusing. Uber drivers use their own car, gas and pay for any mechanical repairs, They probably use their own auto insurance. The only thing Uber seems to provide is an Ap on the driver’s own phone.
If you use this reasoning, Are you an employee if you use an ap to order a meal and pay by credit card? What about self checkout, Can’t I get an employee discount?
…..Can’t help but believe the ‘prophecies’ are so much more than real.
AND….There will be many that fail to heed the warning.
The issue may come here too. I won’t spend much time feeling upset. Uber employees donated four times as much to Democrats as Republicans.
Government wants a thumb on everyone, and your employer will be coerced into being cooperative-nazis.
