A lawyer hired by Uber in Lithuania comforts all Lithuanian businessmen who use the Uber method of labor exploitation, that due to the decision of the United Kingdom Court it is not necessary to gather toys and go home:
"Customized passenger transport activities, driver controls and other aspects of passenger transport operating in Lithuania are not necessarily analogous to those found by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in the present case. In any case, the decision in this case has no legal effect on Lithuanian to private individuals."
International experts have a more reasoned opinion on this issue:
"Still, the U.K. decision offers a boost to labor activists in Europe and the U.S. who have been sparring with Uber and other companies such as DoorDash Inc. and Deliveroo Inc. over the employment status of gig workers. Uber drivers and workers from other companies will be able to bring new cases to claim benefits on behalf of gig workers, said Rachel Mathieseon, a lawyer at Bates Wells who argued on behalf of the drivers.
The U.K. court also said that the group of Uber drivers weren't independent contractors because Uber decided how much they are paid, controlled how they work using a customer-rating system and imposed contractual terms upon them. The court said those factors entitled them to status as workers, a legal employment status in the U.K. that falls between a full employee and an independent contractor." [1]
