  That is pretty good, just wish the BBC wrote a better article and ended with suggestions on who to contact regarding wage theft & how to organize to fight back against it, instead of ending the article with the Amazon contractor saying your free to quit at any time.

    Ultimately the purpose of such articles, if they wish to affect change, is to get the UK courts to rule that the drivers cannot be classified as self-employed and must receive the National Minimum Wage and conform to rules on driving hours and breaks, which are fairly extensive. There were a number of similar reports about Uber before a court recently ruled that Uber drivers are legally employees, not self-employed contractors.
