No Deliveroo union

DELIVEROO riders do not have the right to collective bargaining, the High Court has ruled in the latest case involving the “gig economy”.

The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain attempted to overturn a ruling which found that riders are not entitled to collective bargaining rights because they are “self-employed”.

At the High Court yesterday, Mr Justice Supperstone dismissed the union’s claim that the decision was a breach of riders’ human rights.
