The Supreme Court unanimously confirmed that Uber drivers are “workers” under the relevant law and not self-employed (as Uber had argued). The case has been running through the tribunals and courts since 2016 and has represented a long standing dispute over the employment status of Uber drivers.

David Morgan and Morag Moffett unpack the decision and the implications it will have for other employers.
