Thanks for sharing Sarah, this has been a really interesting case and the implications for similar organisations will be huge. Lets see what the appeal brings.
It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and it will reach across many industries. I think the ruling of the drivers having some employment rights, but not being a fully fledged employee has the potential to muddy the waters further - especially for SMEs on the gig economy or similar. I think it will discourage some companies/industries who have maybe thought about going down the 'gig-economy' until now.
The other thing I wonder is where will the balance be struck - one of the reasons Uber has grown so quickly is the flexibility to work when the drivers choose - Can this flexibility continue if the Uber model has to change to fit in with the final ruling of this case?
