Yeah, I understand not wanting Uber in your country and going after the company, but to hit bottom-tier employees is just wrong. Reminds me of the US justice system in the finance sector.

Norway wants Uber and its drivers to follow Norwegian laws, namely fulfil the requirement of a license for paid passenger transportation.

Uber sells them as independent contractors, and regardless norwegian law requires that the operator of the vehicle has a license, which is the drivers.

They aren't employees.

That's the weak argument Uber is trying to make everywhere.

Even if they were employees, it should not matter. They knowingly personally broke the law. Being paid by someone to do it is no excuse.
