The French Court of Cassation ruled on Wednesday that the driver of the taxi platform Uber will be considered an employee and not a self-employed person. The decision could affect both Uber and other members of the French platform economy.
finally, the Court of Appeal wrote in its opinion that if the driver is on the Uber platform, it is binding and there is “a relationship of subordination between the director and the company. “And so,” the court concluded, “he provides the driver for his services as a self-employed person, but as an employee.”
in terms of ensuring that the tens of thousands of Uber drivers in France who are unhappy with their employment relationship with Uber also have a special back room for the Department of Justice to work on. If everyone is like an employee, this could lead to significantly higher wage costs for Uber drivers. Also, employees are entitled to things like annual leave.
Uber disagrees with that decision. “The ruling does not consider the reasons why drivers choose Uber: independence and the freedom to work when and where they want,” the US taxi platform said in a comment.
The ruling could have ramifications not only for the taxi platform Uber, but also for other companies that use the technology, such as maatalbezorger Deliveroo.
