Uber UK case: urgent need to regulate in Australia
The Transport Workers’ Union is urging the Federal Government to regulate the gig economy, as Uber announced it was introducing piecemeal rights for workers following a UK Supreme Court judgment last month.
Michael Kaine TWU National Secretary said Uber should not get to decide how few rights workers should get.
“This is a significant win for gig economy workers: Uber has been forced to recognise workers’ rights and the TWU sends congratulations to the UK workers who stood strong over many years to get Uber to this point.
“Uber only took this step because it realised it had no choice and now what they are doing is offering scraps of rights in a piecemeal way.
TWU national secretary Michael Kaine said on February 20 that the court ruling is “unequivocal” and that it has “implications for Australian law”. Gig economy workers have rights, he said.
The TWU wants the government to legislate to recognise the rights of rideshare drivers and food delivery riders. It said the need is urgent because of “delivery riders dying on the roads and rideshare drivers being ripped off”. The union wants an independent tribunal to ensure workers have the rights and protections they are entitled to.
The TWU, rideshare drivers and food delivery riders visited federal MPs on February 22 to discuss the British court decision.
