Uber drivers in U.K. to get minimum wage, benefits

Published March 17, 2021 9:41 AM EDT

Uber drivers in the United Kingdom will be getting minimum wage and some benefits.

The move comes after the British Supreme Court sided with labor groups in a battle over whether drivers can be classified as employees.

It's a major defeat for Uber, which has fought similar challenges in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Drivers will also get paid time off and have access to pension plans.
