Drivers whose work is arranged through Uber smartphone App are workers entitled to workers’ rights

CL/UK SERVICE MATTER : Drivers whose work is arranged through Uber's smartphone application (Uber App) and they work for Uber under worker's contracts would qualify for national minimum wage, paid annual leave and other workers' rights; it cannot be contended that they work for themselves as independent contractors and performing services under contracts made with passengers through Uber as their booking agent and, thus, these drivers do not have these worker's rights
