LONDON, Oct 29 (APP/AFP) – Ride-sharing cab service Uber on Friday lost a British tribunal case brought by drivers demanding basic workers’ rights, in a decision that could have repercussions across the “gig economy”. The Central London Employment Tribunal ruled in favour of two drivers who argued that they should receive holiday and sick pay and be paid Britain’s national minimum wage as they were effectively employees of the California-based tech company. They were supported by the GMB union, who said the decision could have “major” implications for around 30,000 drivers across England and Wales.
