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
Isn't it about lawfulness, rather than reasonableness?
I too think the drivers are asking too much for some of the things like
holiday pay, although this is in danger of getting into a wider debate
about "zero-hours" contracts.
