The company had been fighting a case brought by two Uber drivers to a London employment tribunal in 2016, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealed to the Supreme Court after losing three earlier rounds in the battle, according to the BBC. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       This development is the latest in the long-running saga of driver classification, a battle that Uber has been fighting for years in many of the markets where it operates. Spain last week announced that gig workers should be treated as employees, and the European Commission recently launched a consultation as it seeks to improve working conditions for gig workers. <\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., Uber won a classification fight in its home state of California in last November\u2019s election. Under the voter-approved Proposition 22, Uber drivers gained a guaranteed wage and possible stipends for health benefits but remain independent contractors \u2014 falling under a third category of employment status like the drivers in the U.K., a model the company wants to expand elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The company is facing a federal challenge to that effort in the PRO Act, federal legislation that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last week. The bill is likely to encounter opposition in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The ride-hailing giant said in the SEC filing that its U.K. rides business comprised 6.4% of its mobility gross bookings in the fourth quarter. It also said it would not adjust previous expectations for adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter or for the year. The minimum wage in the U.K. is 8.72 euros an hour; the company said in the filing its drivers typically make 17 euros an hour in London and 14 euros an hour elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>An Uber spokesman declined further comment.<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Uber, which had fallen 2.2% to end the day\u2019s session at $58.85, were down an additional 1% after hours. They have risen more than 15% so far this year, and are up 211% in the past 52 weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Levi Sumagaysay\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Levi_Sumagaysay\"><\/span>Levi Sumagaysay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
