A Uber driver has taken the taxi app company to court over claims that it does not provide him with basic workers' rights, he argues they should be entitled to holiday pay and receive at least the national minimum wage.
There are two drivers that are taking the court action but the end result could effect all Uber drivers and cost the company millions of pounds and probably cost many drivers their jobs. Prices would go up as demand would go down.
They are claiming to be employees of Uber and are claiming they should be given minimum wage as well as holiday & sick pay. I would be very surprised if they win the case, as apart from effecting Uber drivers it could effect many other types of self employed workers.
But should they win, how could that effect Adultwork if a cam girl decided that she would take tem to court over workers rights? (taking that anybody could actually get them into court).
