Uber drivers in the UK have won an employment tribunal case which ruled they are workers rather than self-employed.

The decision means drivers will be entitled to holiday pay, paid rest breaks and the National Minimum Wage.

The GMB union described the ruling concerning the ride-hailing app as a "monumental victory" for some 30,000 drivers.

Uber said it would appeal against the decision made by the London tribunal.

The San Francisco-based ride company had argued that its drivers were not employees but self-employed contractors.

The landmark ruling could affect tens of thousands of people who work for companies with similar business models such as Deliveroo.
