Uber has lost in the Supreme Court. Their workers aren't self-employed. There is no-where for Uber to appeal to.
An Uber driver is entitled to worker status as soon as they have their app open until it is closed. They are entitled to NMW, hoilday pay and sick pay.

Supreme Court justices have ruled against Uber operating companies and concluded that drivers should be classed as workers, not independent third-party contractors.
Seven justices delivered a ruling on the latest round of a long-running fight between Uber operating companies and drivers on Friday.
Lawyers said the ruling means that drivers will be entitled to basic rights, such as paid holidays, and will have implications for others working in the gig economy.
Uber operating companies had appealed to the Supreme Court after losing three earlier rounds of the fight.
