The lawsuit was brought by trade union FNV, which filed a complaint in June, arguing that Uber was underpaying drivers and treating them as employees, rather than independent contractors. Uber argued that it is merely a technology company that connects riders to drivers, but the court was unconvinced. The court found that the legal relationship between Uber and these drivers meets all the characteristics of an employment contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dutchnews.nl\u002Fnews\u002F2021\u002F09\u002Fuber-drivers-are-employees-not-freelancers-says-amsterdam-court\u002F\"> in English. \u003C\u002Fa>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnltimes.nl\u002F2021\u002F09\u002F13\u002Fuber-must-employ-its-drivers-dutch-court-rules\"> in English (2).\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
