Deliveroo riders hold a protest over pay outside the company HQ in Torrington Place, London, in 2016
DELIVEROO riders brought their landmark union recognition fight to the High Court today as they continue their battle against the gig-economy employer.
The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) is fighting for couriers in Camden and Kentish Town, north London, to be entitled to collective bargaining.
In November, the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) ruled that a majority of Deliveroo riders in the area wanted the IWGB to represent them as they sought collective bargaining on pay, hours and holiday.
