Uber to Give UK Drivers Minimum
Wage, Pension and Holiday Pay.
The move comes after a recent
court ruling classified Uber drivers
as workers entitled to benefits.
More than 70,000 drivers in the U.K. will earn
at least the minimum wage of £8.72
($12.12) after accepting a trip request.
Though they welcomed the news, the drivers who
filed the case said the company “arrived to the table
with this offer a day late and a dollar short.”.
The announcement follows a
November ballot proposition in California
where an initiative was passed...
... to exempt ride-hailing apps and food
delivery services from classifying their drivers
as employees instead of contractors.
