Description

In September 2021, the Amsterdam District Court ruled that Uber drivers are employees, not freelancers. Therefore, Uber drivers are covered by the collective labour agreement for taxi transport (CAO Taxivervoer). The workers were represented and supported by FNV. 

Uber has been appealing the judgment.
