Deliveroo are demanding union recognition and workers' rights... The Independent Workers
Union of Great Britain, representing couriers in north London in a test case, is asking
for a "voluntary recognition agreement" that would require the British start-up to
negotiate worker conditions with union representatives. ---- At present the couriers are
treated as independent contractors, a standard classification used by companies such as
Uber and Deliveroo. ---- The action comes just weeks after two Uber drivers won a similar
employment case in London, when a tribunal ruled they were workers entitled to benefits
such as sick leave and occupational safety.
Jason Moyer-Lee, the IWGB's general secretary, said: "If we win, then all
Deliveroo[couriers]will be workers and it will be the first collective bargaining
agreement in the gig economy.
"It chips away at the bogus assumption that Deliveroo is made up of a network of
entrepreneurs and allows us to negotiate the pay, working conditions and working rights of
our members
