Netherlands: Govt launches investigation into self-employment contracts used by co's like Uber & Deliveroo following strike action

"Success for Deliveroo riders in the Netherlands as strike action forces investigation", 9 February 2018

After several weeks of strike action... [t]he Dutch government has launched a full-scale investigation in to one of the dark sides of the gig economy - the strategy of employing workers on bogus self-employment contracts despite working full time for a company like Uber or Deliveroo. The investigation comes after Deliveroo’s move to replace all employees on legitimate contracts with “self-employed” workers.

UNI Global Union [...] warned business leaders at Davos about the dangers of bogus self-employment and misclassification of workers. Referring to a Dutch Deliveroo worker on strike, Jennings delivered the reality of the new world of work to Davos in a session on the gig economy. Jennings read a letter from a disenfranchised Deliveroo worker, relating the difficult experiences of platform workers to a visibly moved audience of top executives.
