Deliveroo Tacitly Admits That Its Business Model Relies on a Lack of Workers’ Rights

Referring to existing legal challenges over workers’ rights in Italy, Australia, Spain, and the Netherlands, the company said:

If government agencies in other jurisdictions were to implement similar industry-wide changes to gig economy and/or food delivery worker status without distinguishing between operating models, this could have a material impact on our business. Deliveroo goes on to say that “if we were required to make changes to the basis on which we engage riders across a number of our markets, or in our key markets, this could affect our ability to continue operating in those markets or require material changes to our model.” This is an admission to investors that the shares they are buying could be compromised by Deliveroo having to give its riders employment protections.
