On 18 May, Australia’s Fair Work Commission (industrial relations tribunal) found Deliveroo guilty of wrongful dismissal. In doing so, the commission found that the former delivery worker was an ‘employee’ of the food delivery group and not an ‘independent contractor.’ With trade unions hailing the outcome as historic, the tribunal’s decision could have a snowball effect across the whole Australian gig economy, which has been particularly under the spotlight in recent months following the death of several courier workers.
