The Irishman Whose Case Got Uber Drivers Recognised As Workers

"We didn't change the law, we didn't make the law. All we did was assert the law." In this week's episode of Legally Fond, you'll hear an interview with former Uber driver James Farrar who was one of the lead claimants in the recent Supreme Court case which established that Uber drivers are workers under English Law. This judgment means, among other things, that Uber drivers are entitled to be paid the national minimum wage. Irishman Farrar discusses how he came to take this case, his thoughts on the Uber driver contract which was heavily criticised by the Court and the compatibility of the gig economy with employees' rights.
