Uber: turn in Gb, drivers become addicted

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, MARCH 16 - Uber will grant its 70,000 British drivers employee status in what is a world first for the car with driver app.

Drivers will be entitled, inter alia, to the minimum wage and pension.

   Uber's decision follows the UK Supreme Court verdict which ruled that Uber drivers on the island were considered employees, not 'self-employed' collaborators.
