What is the gig economy and how will it be affected by Uber's announcement?
Uber's announcement of basic employment rights for its drivers comes after a long-running court battle that could force a shake-up in the so-called gig economy.

So the high court has today ruled that Gig economy workers at the likes of Uber / Deliveroo etc are actually employees instead of self employed - So they qualify for sickpay / holiday etc.
They are going to draw a line somewhere as doing work for Roamler, Shepper, BeMyEye, BeeLibery etc is all 'gig economy' work and I doubt people doing it want to be 'employed'!
