LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of people who work in the so-called "gig economy" have gathered to protest outside Britain's Royal Courts of Justice as Uber appealed earlier legal rulings that have broad implications for its business model.

The demonstrators argue San Francisco-based Uber should honor decisions that ruled that the two drivers in the case were "workers" under British law and therefore eligible for minimum wage and paid holidays.
