Anita Rosentreter: First Union strategic project coordinator on Uber drivers continuing their legal battle with the rideshare giant - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Uber drivers have continued their employment fight, now at the Court of Appeal.

Two years ago, the court ruled four Wellington Uber drivers should be considered employees, not contractors, giving them more entitlements.

Now, Uber's appealing the decision, and drivers and unions rallied outside the court today.

First Union strategic project coordinator Anita Rosentreter says the protesting drivers showed 'bravery' in standing up against Uber's pushback.

"It was a combination of a whole bunch of drivers, and also their whanau and supporters- and the unions came out to show support. We had politicians there, it was a wide range of Wellingtonians."
