The U.K.’s Supreme Court court ordered Uber to pay minimum wage and provide benefits like paid vacation to a group of its drivers in a decision that could set a precedent for all app-based workers.
The high court’s decision Friday applied to a group of 25 former Uber drivers, who argued they should be classified as employees rather than independent contractors, according to The Wall Street Journal. The ruling, though, won’t affect the vast majority of U.K. Uber drivers, who would need to challenge the company in court to receive minimum wage and other benefits.
