Uber said on Aug. 27, it would appeal a ruling by a labor court in Brazil in favor of a driver who demanded to be considered an employee of the ride-hailing app, whose labor model views drivers as independent contractors.

The ruling, however, will not be implemented until all appeals have been made, the judge wrote in a decision on Aug. 24.
