Bike courier wins 'gig' economy employment rights case

Ms Dewhurst has been with City Sprint for the past two years, during which time the company classed her as an "independent contractor", or self-employed.
However, she claimed her role was more like that of a worker. "We spend all day being told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. We're under their control. We're not a mosaic of small businesses and that's why we deserve basic employment rights like the national minimum wage," she said.
The tribunal ruling released on Friday stated that "the claimant was a worker of the respondent [City Sprint] and... it unlawfully failed to pay her for two days' holiday".
The Employment Tribunal judge, Joanna Wade, described City Sprint's contractual arrangements as "contorted", "indecipherable" and "window-dressing".
