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. Uber said the ruling centred on a small number of drivers and it had since made changes to its business. In a long-running legal battle, Uber had appealed to the Supreme Court after losing three earlier rounds. It is being challenged by its drivers in multiple countries over whether they should be classed as workers or self-employed.
