Union recognition one step closer for Deliveroo riders
High Court grants permission for IWGB to appeal against ruling the riders aren't legally ‘workers’
Deliveroo riders hold a protest over pay outside the company HQ in Torrington Place, London in 2016
DELIVEROO riders took a step towards union recognition today after they were granted permission to appeal against a ruling that they are not legally “workers.”
The High Court allowed a full judicial review of the decision that does not entitle riders in Camden, north London to union recognition and collective bargaining.
Ms Justice Simler said the International Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) had an “arguable” case that Deliveroo riders had the right to collective bargaining under the European Convention on Human Rights.
