BRASILIA - A Brazilian high court has ruled that Uber drivers are not employees of the mobile ride-hailing company, a decision that bolsters its business model in its second-largest market.
“The app’s drivers have no hierarchical relation with the Uber company because their services are provided now and then, with no pre-established timetable and they do not have a fixed salary,” according to the unanimous ruling. The court added that technological tools now available allow for new forms of economic interaction in which the drivers act as individual business people not employed by the owner of the platform.
