Top French court recognises Uber driver as employee
“When connecting to the Uber digital platform, a relationship of subordination is established between the driver and the company”
France's high court has granted an Uber driver's request to reclassify his contractual relationship with the ride-hailing operator as an employment contract, it said on Wednesday.
"When connecting to the Uber digital platform, a relationship of subordination is established between the driver and the company," France's Cour de Cassation said in a statement.
"Hence, the driver does not provide services as a self-employed person, but as an employee."
