Uber, on the other hand, have stuck their head in the sand and said the
ruling only applies to the two drivers who brought the case.

And they wonder why people think so little of their practices.


Tis the typical response from any company who have just lost at an ET

They just need a holding position whilst they get their lawyers to look at
it to see what is the basis for an appeal.

And whilst I don't like Uber's MO from a competition POV, looking down the
list of reasons why the tribunal ruled that the drivers are workers the only
ones that seem to me to be an unreasonable practice is that of not telling
divers where the pick up wants to go to and penalising drivers for not
accepting pick ups.

The rest don't seem the slightest bit unreasonable IMHO
