Uber Technologies Inc., the renowned American ride hailing company, has reportedly been accused of attempting to discourage its drivers from asking for compensation for minimum wage payments as well as missed holiday following a landmark court ruling.
The ride hailing app might have to pay more than £100 million to around 10,000 drivers involved in cases related to a ruling by the UK supreme court on Friday that said they should be categorized as workers. The firm had earlier argued that its 60,000 drivers in UK are independent self-employed contractors with no entitlement to any holiday pay, national minimum wage, or a company pension.
