Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, commenting on Uber losing its court appeal against ruling that drivers should be treated as workers rather than self-employed, said:

“This landmark ruling is a hard-fought victory for worker’s rights and I congratulate the drivers and trade unions for taking this all the way to the courts.

"Uber, and companies like it, must now stop exploiting its workforce. They must immediately implement changes to ensure that workers receive the rights and protections to which they are entitled. 

“The next Labour government will support workers with equal employment rights and clamp down on bogus self-employment.”
