Uber has been granted a 30-month license to operate in London, Transport for London said Saturday.
Uber has sought to turn on the charm over the years, adding new safety features to its platform and striking a deal with Britain's GMB to formally recognize the labor union for its private hire drivers.
The company reclassified all its U.K. drivers as workers last year after the country's top court ruled a group of drivers should be treated as workers instead of independent contractors, entitling them to employment protections like a minimum wage, holiday pay and pensions. "TfL rightly holds our industry to the highest regulatory and safety standards and we are pleased to have met their high bar," Jamie Heywood, Uber's regional general manager for Northern and Eastern Europe, said in a statement.
