I am very thankful for Matt for making such a helpful video. This decision of UK Supreme Court is counted very important in our Country Nepal and I being a Labor Lawyer, this video made me easier to understand the topic more easily.
Really useful overview of the judgement and the reasoning behind it. Thanks for the video on this Matt
Thanks James!
This was a really well made and helpful video! Thank you very much
Thanks a lot Maddison! I am glad you enjoyed watching the video. Matt
Thank you for this Matt! This was a long awaited decision within the Employment Law circles. Glad to learn that Uber drivers are categorised as workers, and are therefore entitled to annual paid leave, etc.
Just wondering. Does this mean that if an Uber driver worked for the company for more than 2 years, they would qualify as an employee, and subsequently get employee benefits?
Also, what implications does this decision have on other companies that operate Uber-like services in countries with a common law system like Uganda? Could the decision be enforced in such countries? Thank you!
Hi Kato, I am glad you enjoyed the video. You have to be categorised as an employee and, generally, have at least two years' continuous service to be able to bring a claim for unfair dismissal. For the distinction between work categories do watch this video on work status: ua-cam.com/video/k9HdxYO5M9M/v-deo.html The decision cannot be enforced in other jurisdictions and legal rights for drivers would depend on the laws in that particular jurisdiction.
@@mattgingell-bitesizedukemp6020 This is very helpful. Thank you for your reply Matt!
Thank you Matt for sharing! Would this decision mean that there is a possibility for Uber to be vicariously liable in the future for any wrongful acts of their employees (Uber workers) provided that all the requirements are satisfied for a claim in vicarious liability?
Hi Chaleena, am pleased you enjoyed the video. The Uber drivers who brought the claim have been classified as workers, not employees. Do watch this video for more information on work status ua-cam.com/video/k9HdxYO5M9M/v-deo.html
@@mattgingell-bitesizedukemp6020 Amazing! Thank you Matt for pointing it out! I will be more attentive to the term being used.
Uber drivers are workers or employees?
