Court of appeal endorses previous verdicts that they should be deemed self-employed
Attempts by some Deliveroo riders to secure legal status as employees have suffered a setback after the court of appeal upheld previous verdicts that found the food delivery couriers were self-employed.
The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has been fighting through the courts since 2017 to have Deliveroo riders classified as “workers”, with the right to unionise and bargain collectively for better terms and conditions.
