Following a Supreme Court defeat last month, the Silicon Valley-based company reclassified its more than 70,000 drivers in Britain as workers, meaning they are guaranteed entitlements such as holiday pay.On the minimum wage, which stands at 8.72 pounds per hour for those aged 25 and over, Uber said it would apply"after accepting a trip request and after expenses" and that on average drivers earn an hourly 17 pounds in London.
