This week the UK Supreme Court upheld an earlier ruling in May that Uber drivers are legally classed as workers and must be treated as such.

What’s the importance of being classified as an Uber employee? Being classified as an employee gives you a range of rights unavailable to ‘gig economy’ casual workers.
