I think we had the same issue in the UK, when uber drivers wanted to be classified as full time workers. Yep, the drivers won that tribunal in 2016 [1]. Courier company City Sprint also lost a case this year, where the judge described their contractual arrangements as "contorted, indecipherable and window-dressing" [2]. HMRC are investigating parcel delivery company Hermes for similarly classifying drivers as self-employed, and there's a potential case from the GMB Union (who won the case against Uber) [2] [3]. In the UK, the gig economy isn't as simple as companies insisting "you're self-employed because we say you are".
