Supreme Court Ruling on Uber's Treatment of its Drivers

Lodged by Neil Findlay Standard Motion 10 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes reports that the Supreme Court has ruled that Uber drivers must be treated as workers rather than self-employed; notes that two drivers won an employment tribunal in October 2016, Uber appealed against this ruling but it was upheld in November 2017; further notes that the company then took the case to the Court of Appeal, but that it was upheld again in December 2018, and that the Supreme Court ruling was Uber’s last appeal; considers that workers are entitled to the minimum wage and holiday pay and believes that this is a massive victory for workers’ rights, and hopes that this is a landmark case in the struggle to end what it sees as the exploitation of workers in the gig economy.
