Rise of the 'Gig Worker' Economy or Just Mending the Legislative Leak?
Hardy, Stephen
Authors
Abstract
This article assesses the extent to which the UK's Supreme Court (UKSC) rulings in Uber and Pimlico Plumbers have resolved the long-standing conundrum facing employers of the label 'worker'. This analysis raises critical issues relating to the effectiveness or otherwise of regulation of the gig economy. Furthermore, it seeks to question how the gig economy is reframing employment law.
