In my opinion a business which couldn't survive following their legal protections for worker rights shouldn't survive. We wouldn't accept this in any other industry, and delivery should be the same. Making sure people get minimum wage isn't so much to ask is it?
While you luckily have the ability to walk away if you decide the terms aren't to your liking, many unfortunately don't.
Ha, factual is probably wrong word when it comes to legal concerns, I'll take that back. Everything explain worker status seems like a tick list for deliveroo riders, but I could be biased.
You are currently classed as a self-employed contractor with no rights, the original tribunal was lost after deliveroo changed contracts to allow riders to substitute another rider to do your delivery for you (are you told this, is it possible in practice? genuinely interested)
