Uber Technologies Inc. has lost a legal appeal in the U.K. over a decision ordering the ride-sharing company to treat its drivers as employees, according to reports Friday. An employment tribunal in October found that drivers working for Uber were entitled to receive the minimum wage and vacation pay. Uber will appeal Friday’s decision by the Employment Appeal Tribunal, according to Sky News. Uber is currently appealing a separate decision by London’s transport regulator to strip the company of its operating license. Transport for London in September said Uber had demonstrated a lack of corporate responsibility on issues such as reporting serious crimes and its approach to driver background checks.
