In the battle between workers and gig economy giants, Uber notched up a rare win Monday when a court in California upheld a state law letting the company treat its drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. | News24_Business

The ruling bucks a broader trend of courts ordering app-based, on-demand companies like Uber and Deliveroo to boost the labour rights of their drivers and riders.UK wins union protection

Under the pact Uber ensured its British drivers worker status with benefits including a minimum wage and paid leave. The August 2021"Rider Law" ordered that they be treated as employees, and not self-employed freelancers.In February 2023, the attention turned to Amazon, with a labour court ruling that over 2 000 people who use their own vehicles to deliver packages for the company should be put on the company's payroll.France's top court ruled in March 2020 that contract between Uber and its 28 000 drivers in the country is an employment contract.

Most of the riders are still considered as independent contractors, however, with only a small proportion of Just Eat riders hired on contracts that gives them the right to the minimum wage.While recent rulings have been broadly favouring workers, there have also been wins on the other side.
