New Zealand: Uber Drivers Now Employees

In New Zealand, a big court case happened.

Uber said their drivers are like small business owners using their app.

But the court said, 'No, they are actually your employees.'

This means drivers might get better rights, like getting paid for holidays or a minimum wage.

A union that helps workers is happy about this and wants to help drivers talk together to get even better working conditions.
