Uber Eats overhauls business model amid pressure over workers’ status | nickbonyhady

the company’s argument a worker was not an employee in part because she was allegedly contracted by restaurants.

“It’s a sign of absolute desperation, their intention is to quickly plug the gaps before another matter gets before the full bench [of the court],” Mr Kaine said. As well as requiring an ABN and allowing deliveries to be delegated, Uber Eats’ new contract, which is mandatory for workers who want to stay on the app, says riders can cancel delivery requests at their “absolute discretion” after they have collected items, though repeated failures to deliver could trigger fraud and quality management processes.

She also said a provision in the contract that allows Uber Eats to suspend a rider’s app access if they cause “regulatory scrutiny” could violate industrial laws.
