This landmark ruling on Uber is a hard-fought victory for worker’s rights – Rebecca Long-Bailey

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.”
