Which has been ruled not the case in the UK (and by extension the rest of the EU)

Which in turn means that Uber do have to pay minimum wage and all the other guff that goes with it - and yet they're still competitive.

Uber (and other) drivers in the UK have to have PCV licenses too, which means that effectively it's no different to any other type of minicab firm other than the location of the dispatch base.
