 "Uber to take driver battle to UK SC; plans appeal in workers' rights case")
Britain's Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled earlier this month that Uber drivers are "workers" rather than being self- employed, entitling them to benefits such as holiday pay.
Uber said in a statement today that it is requesting permission to appeal directly to the Supreme Court so the case can be resolved quickly.
The case started last year after two Uber drivers argued they were entitled to benefits like holiday pay and paid rest breaks.
The rapidly expanding US-based company has tens of thousands of drivers in Britain.
