Published: 14 Apr 2021 The Supreme Court decision that Uber drivers in the UK will now be entitled to the national minimum wage, holiday pay and rest breaks has been hailed as a win for workers’ rights, but it won’t all be positive. Over the past few years there have been numerous consultations on the subject of the gig economy and worker status, with the idea of enabling good work for all. The problem is that what defines ‘good work’ will vary based on the individual; and this was very clear in the consultations. The key benefit of lots of gig economy work is flexibility, and many of those who engage in this type of work do so for that reason. There is no obligation to turn up to work at a set time, to work for a particular length of time, or even ever work for the company again. Also, the work is not exclusive to one company, enabling many individuals to ‘multi-app’.
