The EAT Uber judgment and workers' rights in the 'sharing economy'
05 Dec 2017, 18:00 – 19:00
Speakers:
Karen Scott (UCL Laws and part-time Employment Judge).
Jason Moyer-Lee (General Secretary, IWGB).
Colm O'Cinneide (UCL Laws, Professor of Constitutional and Human Rights).
Nicola Countouris (UCL Laws, Professor of Labour Law and European Law).
About the lecture:
Following the recent judgment of the EAT in Uber v Aslam, it is clear that tribunals are becoming increasingly assertive and keen to interfere with the contractual arrangements shaping the employment status of workers employed through on-line platforms.
Our panel of experts will offer a number of insights on the Uber judgment and on the labour rights of workers in the so-called gig-economy.
