Bolt to face workers' rights employment tribunal
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
LAWYERS representing 12,500 Bolt drivers will take their fight for rights to an employment tribunal in London this week.
The drivers argue they should be recognised as workers rather than self-employed contractors, and paid compensation for previous unpaid holiday pay and shortfalls in the National Living Wage.
They believe that the 2021 Supreme Court ruling that Uber drivers are workers also applies to them.
