The EAT Uber judgment and workers' rights in the 'sharing economy'

Speakers:

• Karen Scott (UCL Laws and part-time Employment Judge).

• 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.
