Uber Technologies Inc. lost another suit over its drivers’ working rights after an Amsterdam court ruled workers who ferry passengers using the Uber app in the Netherlands are covered by a local collective labor law.
The legal relationship between Uber and its drivers meets all of the characteristics of an employment contract, the court said in its judgement. Uber must apply the Collective Labor Agreement for Taxi Transport to protect drivers, allowing them in some cases to claim overdue salary. Uber was also ordered to pay the local labor union, FNV, 50,000 euros ($59,000) in compensation for failing to comply with the agreement.

Britain: Boris Johnson’s EU tour: A week gambling
In a series of bilateral meetings on Brexit on the eve of and in
the margins of the Biarritz G7, with French President Emmanuel Macron,
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council President Donald
Tusk told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that, while they were
willing to consider new proposals to avoid the United Kingdom leaving
the European Union without an agreement on 31 October, London would bear
the responsibility of such an eventuality.
On the other hand, Johnson was praised by US President Donald Trump, who referred to a "very large trade agreement" with the United Kingdom once it had left the EU.
Note EU-Digest: So far Boris has lost every proposal he did to parliament and is now in a legal battle as to why he disbanded the Parliament.
