A trade union lost a U.K. court bid for the right to lobby Deliveroo over pay and conditions on behalf of the food-delivery service’s riders, in a rare setback for workers in the so-called gig economy.
The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain failed Wednesday at the High Court in its bid for permission to lobby on behalf of Deliveroo riders in north London, over pay, hours and holidays. The union will appeal, it said in a statement.
