Uber drivers consider legal action

More than 100 drivers for app-based taxi company Uber are looking to take action over their rights, lawyers have exclusively told this programme.
The legal action is aiming to establish the drivers with worker status, rather than as self-employed customers or partners - which is how Uber sees them.
The first four cases were lodged last week, arguing the company is breaching its duty on basic rights.
Uber says most of its drivers want the flexibility its approach offers.
