Uber has said over and over that it creates jobs. Millions, in fact. But, the company has also maintained that its drivers are not employees, and it's definitely not a taxi company. Regardless of what Uber says, the California Labor Commission ruled today that at least one Uber driver is, in fact, an employee, Reuters reports.

The ruling came as part of a case where an Uber driver, Barbara Ann Berwick, claimed that Uber owed her remuneration for the more than 470 hours she worked, and the costs she incurred while working as a driver. These costs included bridge tolls and traffic tickets. According to a court order, Uber was paying Berwick's wages as a driver to a corporation she created in 1988 but maintains that she has no control over.

Uber argued that it is, the order states, a "neutral technological platform" that merely connects contractors to customers. In response, the commission argued that Uber is "involved in every aspect of the operation," since the company vets drivers and "control[s]" the tools they use by requiring that drivers register their cars.
