It was designed to protect them, but Uber drivers in Geneva want to have their independence back.
A series of legal battles, which went all the way to the Federal Court, means drivers must be treated as employees with the rights to sick pay and vacations.
But that comes with the loss of independence and higher costs.
Drivers point out to the press that taking in CHF 7,000 in fares over the course of the month means CHF 3,200 take home pay.
The drivers say they want the freedom to set their own hours. They want to meet the cantonal Department of Employment to discuss the current arrangement.
