Genève: les chauffeurs Uber sont soumis à la loi sur les services
Original
Quoted by Tribune de Genève, which published the information, cantonal government member Delphine Bachmann welcomed the decision. It “will give greater clarity to the organisation of an entire sector of activity”.
In its ruling, the Federal Court considers that drivers of chauffeur-driven transport vehicles working with the Uber application are subject to the law on employment services and the hiring of services. It thus confirms the position of the Department of the Economy and the decision handed down by the Geneva Court of Justice in March 2024.
MITC, an Uber partner and user of the platform, will have to comply with the conditions of the employment law for its drivers. This applies in particular to employment contracts and timetabling.
