London (CNN Business) Uber is reviewing how it treats thousands of drivers in the United Kingdom after the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that they should be classified as workers and not independent contractors. The court said Friday that the group of Uber drivers that brought the case to an employment tribunal were not independent contractors because their activities were "very tightly defined and controlled by Uber." The next step is for an employment tribunal to decide how to compensate dozens of claimants. Uber drivers Yaseen Aslam, left, and James Farrar, pose outside the Court of Appeal in London in 2018. "We believe all independent workers deserve to earn a decent wage," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi wrote in a blog post.
