About Uber
Uber matches passengers with drivers through an app and operates in more than seventy countries. A British Supreme Court ruling in 2021 held that its drivers are workers entitled to the minimum wage and holiday pay, not self-employed contractors. Its surge pricing, which raises fares when demand outstrips supply, is the feature most complained about and the one the company argues is what gets drivers on the road at all.
