Today after many months’ delay, the Supreme Court has finally handed down its decision: Uber drivers are workers.

This decision is very significant news for all private hire drivers in the UK.

THREAD/
What does this decision mean?

As a worker you have certain legal protections and benefits, such as the right to paid holiday and the right to receive the National Minimum Wage. You also have a right to union representation in disciplinary matters & to collective bargaining.
These rights have been hard fought for by drivers and bitterly resisted by Uber. And we know that the management at Uber will likely keep trying their best to wriggle out of their responsibilities to us drivers.

Hey @maitlis, great to see you bigging up a @Deliveroo courier but thought you might like to know a few facts about what conditions these key workers operate under after plugging their exploitative employer to your 418.9k followers (Thread)

1)Couriers have provided a vital service throughout the pandemic delivering food to the vulnerable, the sick and the public to keep them safe. However couriers' employers have done very little to look after them

2)@Deliveroo failed to provide sufficient financial & physical protection for couriers which not only endangers the lives of their workforce but also the thousands of people they deliver to daily. They did the bare minimum to protect low paid workforce! independent.co.uk/news/business/…
