A Brazilian labour court in Minas Gerais stateruled that a Uber driver is an employee of the company and is entitled to workers' benefits. The judge also ordered Uber to pay one driver around$10,000 in compensation for overtime, night shifts, holidays, and expenses such as gasoline and water. The company reacted saying that it would appeal the decision, citing a contradictory ruling issued by another labour court in the same Brazilian state few weeks before.
