UK Supreme Court Denies Deliveroo Riders Collective Bargaining Rights

The United Kingdom's Supreme Court has ruled that Deliveroo riders cannot be represented by a trade union for collective bargaining purposes. The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) had sought to negotiate pay and conditions on behalf of Deliveroo riders, but the court unanimously dismissed their appeal. The court stated that Deliveroo riders do not have an employment relationship with the company and are not entitled to compulsory collective bargaining. The ruling provides certainty for platform economy companies with flexible operating models, while the IWGB expressed disappointment and emphasized the importance of worker unity in demanding change.
